HOW TO MAKE A COLORFUL INSTAGRAM WALL

Cut matte down to 8×8 using a straight edge razor and ruler.
Pre-plan where you want all the images to go before taping them down on the matte.
Using the double sided tape, tape on 2 or 4 corners to secure the image.
Clean both sides of the glass prior to putting the image and matte in.
Measure the space where you plan to hang the images. Be sure to calculate vertical and horizontal some space between each frame, assuming you’re doing rows like we did. Once you’ve found your top line, place a level on the wall and draw a line. This is where you’ll place your nails for the first row.
Hang your frames 1 by 1. We like to use a small piece of 3M Double Sided Tape to secure the leveled frame to the wall.
Repeat steps for each frame and row.

Next week we plan to showcase our how we are tranforming another space in this room and the process we did to get it just right.
