Preparing a Beauty Collage

Personalize a dressing room or bathroom with a DIY beauty collage!

Tools needed: old magazines, 18" x 24" tag board, glue stick, glue gun, gems, glitter glue, Ikea 18" x 24" plain wood frame, metallic spray paint.

1. To get started page through old magazines and tear out inspirational photos of favorite handbags, jewelry, models, clothes, etc. Intricately cut around the objects to create an appealing aesthetic.

2. Use the glue stick to adhere the images to the tag board. Board can be any color of choice, we prefer black as it really makes the images pop! When adhering the images, you can either plan out the layout, or be spontaneous and glue as you go watching for various shapes to come to life before your eyes.

3. Once the tag board is full of your desired images, there is no limit of how many can be placed, let the board dry and turn your attention to the frame.

4. In a well ventilated area spray paint the frame's edges. We recommend a metallic paint for a truly glamorous effect. Another option is seeking out a vintage frame at a thrift store or rummage sale.

5. While the frame dries, return to your tag board art and begin to decorate the images as you a see fit. You can use gems that can be glued on with the glue gun, or glitter glue to outline models, shoes, or other bits of inspiration.

6. Once the board and frame are fully dry insert tag board in the frame and hang appropriately in either a dressing room, bathroom, or bedroom.

7. While primping enjoy being inspired by your favorite images, not to mention feeling proud of your own creative handiwork!
