Nice! The print quality is great, too. Who do you use?

How did you mount it on the wall?

@ Thenss: The clips have holes in the center, so I used pushpins to mount them to the wall. I put the entire thing up in sections and then connected them all together.

The toughest part was getting it leveled on the wall. I actually had to add another column to get it centered, so there's really 112 photos in the collage now.

@ Tara: Thanks. I've got a Canon Selphy CP510 printer and print everything myself. It's been discontinued and replaced by the CP720, but the price is still the same - $99. The best 100 bucks you can spend, IMHO.

In retrospect, I think the collage would look better if I did borderless prints, but I like the white border on all of my prints.

@ greentheory: Thanks :)

I wish I had the time to make a more intricate pattern other than a simple rectangle. I stare at my wall everyday when I'm work with the temptation to tear it down and redo it.

This is cool. I used clips from lomo but these seem the same but less expensive.

Oh they definitely are the same clips from Lomo. I'm not sure how much they are from lomography.com, but then again, everything on that site is expensive.

is that a 1cm white border around your photos? how big is the border? sweet wall.

did you use thumbtacks into each clip? if not, how many did you use. thanks.

That border is roughly 1cm. I like the look of the border, but I don't think it goes well with this wall-collage.

I randomly placed thumbtacks to help keep the thing up and to prevent random bulging.

musictowakeyou [deleted] says:

so ur saying in hindsight you would have made it without a border? i actually think the white border works well.

the only skepticism i have about the fotoclips is the way the photos bulge out from the wall.

Yeah, I agree about the bulges. They bothered me for a few weeks, but then I forgot about them altogether. I wish I had the resources to put a wall like this together.

This is great. I'm going to try this - have the perfect little wall at The Make Lounge that would be ideal!
