Our DIY this month is a fun take on a photo collage/page layout. We are loving all the fun geometric designs we've been seeing lately and decided to use a hexagon shape for our photo collage.
It's pretty simple. We found this free hexagon template online here. We cut out the 3 inch hexagon and simply held it in place over our photos and paper and cut them out (trace it first if you prefer). Choose coordinating colors for your hexagons or use all photos and create a pattern on your paper. It's a bit like putting a puzzle together. We used colored cardstock, book pages, and photos for our hexagons and we chose gold glitter paper for our background to gussy it up a little. Next, just glue them in place. If it's for a scrapbook, you can add a tittle and maybe use a hexagon for journal info. Otherwise to hang as a photo collage, slip it into a frame or glue it onto chipboard, punch holes at the top, and string a ribbon through. A great way to display some of your fun summer photos :)
We hope that you have an awesome August full of summer memories and fresh starts.
