DIY - Gallery Wall

I don't have any "real" artwork in my house.

Nothing I've selected from a gallery or an up-and-coming artist.

I see cookie cutter pieces at HomeSense all the time, and some of them appeal to me - but not as much as photographs.

Those captured moments of time.

Candids are my favourites - catching someone daydreaming, mid-laugh, or even mid-cry.

To me, that is priceless art.

But how do you display all of those moments when you don't have a "custom canvas" budget?

I got ya' covered!

For ~$8 you could have a gallery wall like this one:


Getting the photo blown up to blue print size came to $5.80
(The finished size of the above "Family" one is 20" high, by 44" wide)
The foam insulation board came to $6.34 and I had enough to make 2 'canvases'
Total:  $8.97
Each of these prints are 16"x20" and I was able to fit all of them onto one insulation board.

Over time, they will yellow with sunlight.... it is just paper.

But at $8, I can afford to change them out as often as I like!
