When selecting photos for the collage, it is best to choose beautiful souvenir photos that depict important events in your life.

The easiest way to attach the printed collage to the lampshade is with a hot glue gun. If you have printed these out in the correct dimensions, the two ends should not overlap at all or only overlap by 1-2 millimeters. The finished lamp with photo collage will certainly put a big smile on the grandparents' face.

If you want to make a collage yourself, you can design it as an original mural. An example can be found in the picture. For this idea, the photos are arranged like a chevron pattern. To do this you will need the following:
- large picture frame
- weißer Cardstock
- Chevron Vorlage
- double-sided tape
- a pair of scissors
- a stencil knife
- a ruler
First mark the places on the chevron template where you want to put the images. Then cut out the appropriate areas with the stencil knife.
Glue the pictures to the back so that they fit into the display case. Then stick the template on the cardstock and insert the whole thing into the picture frame. The finished photo collage is perfect for the walls in the hallway or living room.
You can also make a very simple collage yourself by simply printing out the photos and attaching them to the wall. To do this, use an adhesive that is suitable for attaching to the wall so that you do not damage the wall paint. Square photos are best suited for this project, allowing you to create different shapes on the wall. An example of this is this heart, which doesn't have a perfect shape but looks like it was made out of pixels. Such a collage can also be created in the corner of the room.
However, the collage should not necessarily consist only of photos. Rather, you can use various paper decorations, as well as greeting and postcards. This way you can create a kind of scrapbook for the wall. Here you can find an example for Christmas.
To do this, you need a large pin board, the frame of which you paint in any color, for example red. Then you can cover the background with fabric or mesh to create a beautiful effect. The decorations can then be attached to the pinboard with thumbtacks or glued with hot glue. The Christmas photo collage can lift the festive mood in your home and create an atmospheric atmosphere.
You don't necessarily need expensive materials from the craft store to make a beautiful collage. A few simple clothespins and a piece of cardboard are enough to create an original design. You can decorate the box with scraps of fabric to make it look more decorative. The clothespins can be colored brightly and should then be stuck to the cardboard. Finally, clip the selected photos and the collage is finished. The individual steps are shown in the photo series.
