D.I.Y - HANGING FRAMES

Ever hammered a nail into your wall in a fit of spring-sprucing only to stand back and realise your picture is completely off centre or ridiculously high? problem solved with brown paper and painters tape! I've heard about this old trick and next time I hang a frame it will be a must to avoid people thinking someone put a very tiny fist through my wall. And even if you are going with the more sensible 3M Sticky hook it's still the perfect way to plan out the balance of your artwork collection.

TIP Don't have either brown paper or painters tape? Try wrapping paper and blue tac.

CREATIVE WAYS TO DISPLAY PHOTOS

I take a lot of photos...a lot... (we are talking tens of thousands on my hard drive!) and I'm always looking for new ways to display them. In the age of the digital sometimes we can forget the simple joy of a tangible hard copy image; that anticipation when you head to the photo store to collect your prints, its always exciting to see your photography work on paper.

I love leaning big frames up against walls, pinning prints to notice-boards or slipping them in the sides of my dressing table mirror, but I get bored easily and always like to change things up. Check out these great ideas I found, that work not only for photos, but invitations, bills, artwork and greeting cards...very inspiring, better get out there and take some new photos to put up!
