Wild at Heart – Picture Collage Wall Hanging

We took lots of pictures over our summer vacation and wanted to display them in a very special way. My kids and I love to scrapbook and create one-of-a-kind crafts, so we came up with a way to show off our pictures of our wild adventure this summer. We titled it Wild at Heart, we are such animal lovers!

It may look a bit complicated but its actually pretty easy and a lot of fun!

Step 1: Come up with a theme and gather up items needed

First, come up with a theme. We titled ours Wild at Heart. Next, and probably my favorite step is finding all kinds of different fabrics, ribbon, fringe, buttons, yarn, string, twine, feathers, flowers, jewelry and any other special treasure you can find to embellish your wall hanging. Think outside the box, you can use just about anything that can be sewed or glued to fabric. Get creative!

Before you start sewing, cutting or gluing lay your items out to get ideas, match colors and see the big picture. Lay out your pictures as well to see where you want to put them in your collage. Use different sizes and even cut them into different shapes. Now that you have a basic idea of what you want to do, its time to start!
