Hey friends! Remember two weeks ago when I shared how I made a one-piece hanging wall collage – and I told you I had a tutorial for how I hung it on the wall?? Here it is!!
First: You need a piece of cardboard that is same size as your collage.
Please make sure that the top edge is straight and line your tallest frame up with it.
Second: Take a marker and trace around the tops, bottoms and sides of the frames so you
have a nice layout on the cardboard.
Third: Flip the frames right over (kind of like flipping a page in a book) so the top of the
frames touch the top of the cardboard.
Fourth: On each frame measure from the side of the frame to the spot where it will be hung from.
Fifth: Measure it on your cardboard and mark it.
Sixth: Measure down from the top of the frame to the spot where the nail will go.
Seventh: Measure down on your cardboard and mark it.
Eighth: You now have the marks where your nails are going to go.
Take a nail and poke holes in the cardboard on the marks.
Ninth: You should have holes poked for each frame and are now ready to make the holes in your wall.
Take your cardboard and a level and find the spot where you want your collage.
Using the level, make sure the cardboard is straight.
Tenth: Take a nail and poke it through each of the holes you made to make marks on your wall.
Eleventh: Remove your cardboard. Hammer your nails into your marks and hang up your picture!
Lastly – Let’s Celebrate!!
Celebrate that our collage is straight!
Celebrate that we don’t have any crazy holes that we have to putty!
Celebrate that it was so easy!!

This was genius! Thanks for the tutorial!
I am not that patient, or precise. I just slap a few of the 3m Command Strips onto the back of all my pictures and stick them to the wall. I'm so lazy.
This is a lot of work- but worth it so your gorgeous collage hangs straight!! So smart!
