This Supereasy Project Turns Your Vacation Into Works of Art

Pick up some frames (on sale, even) at your local craft or frame store. We snapped up these affordable and large square shadowbox frames from Ikea for about $15 each.

Select your background. This is the perfect design opportunity to style your project with your room's color palette in mind. We wanted to stay neutral yet add a bit of depth, so we went for two-toned gray stripe picked up at Michaels for just a quarter per piece of 12"x12" paper.

Create your collage with a some tape and imagination. We added memory notes on the back of each postcard as well.

Create and hang your gallery. Check out our quick tip for hanging frames exactly where you want them:

• Tape together pieces of packing paper to the size of your wall space.
• Lay the large paper down on a hard surface and then measure; place and then trace your frames exactly where you want them.
• Even include a circle for where the nail will go.
• Remove the frames, pick up your paper, and tape it to the wall.
• Nail right through the paper where you had drawn your nail circles.
• Pull the paper down.

Step back to admire (and remember) your vacation memories view.
