Geometric Photo Art Project

Amanda, of Indie Jane, and I have been dreaming up extra pretty projects for you this coming season. When the idea of a geometic photo collage was tossed around we both got really excited about it! What we love about this project is how personal it can become. I'm thinking of making one with wedding photos for my bedroom... how sweet would that be? 

Supplies Needed: Poster board (cut slightly larger than the frame you wish to use), glue or double-sided tape, scissors, triangle template to trace (mine was 2.5 inches on each side of the triangle using a ruler), paint swatches in colors you love, vintage book pages, and a few of your favorite photos.  

1. Cut triangles from a template (so that they are all the exact same size and shape) 2. Arrange the cut-outs on the poster board however you like. Be sure to lay them all out before adhering any triangles, so you can make sure you love your design! 3. I glued the cut-outs (with Mod Podge) onto the page the first time I made this project. The glue caused the poster board to warp a little, so the second time I made it I used double sided tape instead! 4. After the glue has dried completely, trim off excess edges. Frame your art, if you like!  

Display your new art in your home! We're huge fans of this pretty mixture of texture, color and photos! Get brave with supply choices, the sky is the limit. XO. amanda + elsie

Paint swatch art is MY FAVORITE! That is how I made some framed Christmas art for 2010.

Love the great ideas! Never disappointed :)

I think it's pretty, but I think there should be more photo triangles..b/c my eyes are drawn more to the book pages, so the pictures are lost and it ends up looking like there's more book pages versus photos. that's what i would do at least, in my opinion
