If you want to have some depth to your collage, consider making this DIY Layered Frames project. This is ideally done with 5–7 frames but you can get creative and use more if you have the space on your wall.
The process is pretty straightforward. Once you have cleaned and repainted the frames, remove the glass and backings. Then, practice arranging them in a pattern you like. It is recommended you take a photo to help you remember how you arranged them. Next, take your trusty hot glue gun and get to gluing! Once the glue has set, you attach screws and a wire on the frame that will be closest to the wall so you can hang up your creation.
