Sunday DIY: Collage Wall

A while ago I complete a collage wall for above my couch in my living room. You see so many glamorous versions but I wanted to share an inexpensive one with you all today. I know a lot of us in our 20s and 30s may not own a house and don't want to spend that much money on decor, so this decor idea may be for you!

1. Most of my frames are from Marshalls, Home Goods and Ikea. I have looked everywhere, and these places have the best deal! I think I spent about $60-$70 total for everything... which I think is a steal. Remember, if you like a frame but not the color, spray paint is your friend!!

2. My photos are actually google image photos! You would be surprised how many photos are online and now great they look printed on a color printer. The only image that I bought was my middle piece from art.com (40% off) It's an awkward size (12x12) and my printer didn't print large photos like that.

I arranged my photos on the floor to decide what would look the best. I tried to provide symmetry with the black and white photos mixed in with the color photos. Just mix the frames around and decide what looks best for you.

Fall Wreath - DIY

So I have been dying to buy a fall wreath but realized how expensive it is with shipping on Etsy. Instead, I decided to make one myself. I wouldn't say it was the best first attempt but I'm satisfied overall.

Supplies

1 Grapevine wreath - I got mine from Amazon. It's much better quality than some of the craft store ones. Incredibly sturdy. You can find it here

2. A bouquet of fake flowers (one's where you can take the actual flowers off the stem)

3. Some extra floral arrangements (I used some vines, straw, etc... optional)

4. Bow - You can make yours following this tutorial I will admit, I had to get help from this bow expert at Michaels with mine. It takes a lot of practice and I just got frustrated. If you do have the time, I would recommend learning how to make a bow...It comes in very handy during the holidays with wrapping gifts.

5. Glue gun - You can get those at any craft stores but I am such an Amazon fan that I bought mine from there. It was also cheaper because it included the glue with it. You can find it here

You arrange your flowers with a glue gun to the wreath. You can tuck the vines, straw and extra stuff in the grapevines itself. Tie the bow on top to cover your wreath holder with floral wire.
