Apply a small piece of tesafilm® on the backside of the paper forms. There's no need to cover the full paper form with adhesive film. By not gluing the entire backside of the paper forms, these bedroom picture collage ideas look livelier due to tiny shadows.

Finally glue the collage onto the surface and cut off any excess paper.
Glue the collage with tesafilm® double-sided behind the passe-partout, frame the picture and hang it on the adhesive nail. The adhesive nail is mounted to the wall according to the instructions on the packaging.
