"Flipping through a magazine I actually stopped to look at an ad! What caught my eye was this stunning foil-pressed heart photo snapshot by online stationary retailer, Minted. What was not so attractive was the price, starting at $57-$116. Way out of my budget so I made my own, putting my own touches to it. This project cost me $0 since I had all the materials on hand. Quite a cost savings to recreate a designer print!"

How to Make Knock-Off Wall Art

Instructions

Print out downloadable heart-shaped template and cut out.
Depending on the size of your frame and heart template you need, re-size approx. 25 1.5"x1.25" photos. (You may need more or less photos, again, depending on the size of frame you are working with.)
Print out photos onto photo paper and cut out.
Cut rectangles out of scrapbook paper (approx. 2"x1.5"), depending on the number of photos you have.
Tape each photo onto each piece of scrapbook paper, making it look like a small Polaroid.
Arrange these "Polaroids" onto your heart template, arranging and laying out in the manner you like best.

Oh I have so many ideas for this little beauty. I think I am going to start one of these for my granddaughter for when she starts school. I will start with her school pictures. Then I will add any pictures from any events she participates in at school, and from there I will end it off with a picture of her graduating class.
