D.I.Y Photo Line

 
Today's post is going to be another little D.I.Y I have recently done for my bedroom. I have been seeing a lot of these photo lines around lately on websites such as pinterest, and Nouvelle Daily, and I thought it was so cute, I decided to have ago myself.

It's such an easy way to display all of your favourite photographs, cut outs, and even your memories. For this D.I.Y all you will need is...
 
 
I firstly took a piece of string about a meter long and found a wall I wanted my photo line to be on. Once I was happy with the position of the line, I used two push pins to secure it to the wall. If you will be pegging quite heavy pieces to your line, you may need to use more push pins to make sure that the line holds up.


 
Now your ready to simply peg up your favourite pictures, quotes, clippings, and whatever else you want to display. I bought my pegs from amazon and only paid about £2 for a pack of 100, so they're very affordable! I think this adds a lovely touch to a plain wall, which is why I tried this myself.

I hope your enjoyed this little D.I.Y, and I hope you have ago yourself.

D.I.Y Tumblr Magnets

D.I.Y Tumblr Magnets


 
 


Now, before I explain how I made these little gems, I need to be honest and say they are so easy that they don't really deserve their own post, but I was so happy with them that I just wanted to share them with you. Of course everyone has seen and heard of the Instagram magnets, and I love them as much as the next person but when I came across some magnetic printing paper in my house I wondered whether I would be able to have a go my self.

I logged into Tumblr and saved a few of my favourite pictures. I decided that I wanted the images to all be the same size, so I opened them in Photoshop and changed the image size to 10cm x 10cm. I inserted all of the images onto one word document which meant I didn't waste any paper. When I had printed them out I cut each image out carefully so that I didn't ruin the picture. That is literally how easy they were, and I am very happy with them indeed.

I have quite a long radiator in my room, so I chose to place them along this, and that way I can look at my favourite pictures from Tumblr every day! :-)
You could even give these as a present which is exactly what I am doing for my friend for her birthday, just choose images which suit them.

Hope you enjoyed my first (not very difficult) D.I.Y
