To avoid nailing unnecessary holes into your walls, lay
out your collage first.
• Multiple frames look best when based around the
following shapes: rectangle, diamond or square.
Straight set rows are nice too. If you opt for straight,
use a piece of string stretched between two pushpins
as a guide along with a level to make sure it's
straight.
• Groupings look most cohesive when frames are
spaced tightly together (about 1 to 2 inches).
However, if there is an extra large piece in the mix, give it a little extra
room to breathe (an extra ½ to 1 inch should do).
• Start with the biggest pieces first and then work around them if you
are mixing sizes.
• Plan out your collage on the floor by placing the frames on top of a
big piece of butcher paper.
