DIY Gallery Wall (Easy)

Gallery walls are fabulous but I have had the hardest time putting them together in the past. But with the help of the world wide web and my own little spin on it I've discovered what is in my opinion the easiest way to hang a gallery wall. Unfortunately I was lame and didn't take and photos while I was doing it so I had to improvise a bit and borrow a couple images from other blogs.

Materials

All your lovely frames and items to be hung

nails

hammer

newspaper

scissors

masking tape

Gallery Hangin

1. The first part is the trickiest. Lay out your gallery on the floor how you would like it. This is the most time consuming for me because I'm very particular and need to it be perfect.

2. Then cut out pieces of newspaper the exact size for each item you are hanging on the wall.

3. This is where I changed it up a bit. Place the newspaper pieces on top of the actual items and start taping the pieces of newspaper together with long strips of masking tape (you will use up a lot of tape... sorry). Make sure each piece is connected with a strand of tape or two.

4. Now take your connected pieces and tape them on the wall where you'd like the gallery to be hung.

5. One by one either nail the actual item over it's newspaper twin and tear off after or replace it with the newspaper as you go. You're all finished!

And there you have it, the easiest gallery wall hanging in the book (as far as I know).

Good luck hanging!
