A picture wall is a great place to showcase your most beautiful vacation photos. True to the motto "art comes from ability", gallery wall ideas often look even better if you focus on one motif and have the photos printed out in black and white.
Time per picture: approx. 10 minutes + drying time
For this gallery wall inspiration, we need:
Square photo prints in 30 x 30 cm and 50 x 50 cm, pre-cut poplar plywood panels (37 x 42 x 1 cm and 60 x 70 x 1 cm), a piece of cork board (1 cm thick), picture hook, hammer, cutter, ruler, white paint, roller, pencil, tesa ® Adjustable Adhesive Nail for Wallpaper & Plaster (1 kg), tesa ® Adjustable Adhesive Nail for Wallpaper & Plaster (2 kg), tesa ® Powerstrips Posterstrips, tesa ® handicraft tape, tesa ® Deco Tape.
To prevent the photos from deforming, paint the wooden panels white on both sides and allow them to dry well.
For the spacers, cut a 4x4 cm piece from the cork board (one for each picture) and attach it with a matching piece of handicraft tape. Remove the protective film.
Glue a piece of cork to the bottom center on the back of the picture. Attach the hanger at the top.
Cover the front borders of the wooden panel flush with Deco Tape. Fold the excess tape over to the back and press firmly.
Apply Posterstrips on all 4 corners on the back of the photo. Press firmly.
Place the photo on the wooden panel and align it, if necessary, making very delicate markings with a pencil. Peel off the protective film from the Posterstrips, glue the photo onto the wooden panel and press firmly.
Mount the adhesive nail on the wall according to the instructions on the packaging and hang up the finished picture.
