Polaroid pictures are still very popular today.If you have a big collection of Polaroids, you might be wondering how you can show them off or just enjoy them.It's possible to display your Polaroids in a way that shows off your unique taste and style, and there are many ways you can do this.Consider the amount of Polaroids you have available to display and what kind of aesthetic you want to put them up.
Step 1: A large grid will cover your wall if you choose enough Polaroids.
Make sure that the size of the grid of pictures you choose will fit on the wall you want to cover.Pick out the photos you want to display in your Polaroid wall by going through your photos.A grid that is 12 photos wide by 14 photos tall is possible.You need to choose 168 Polaroids.If you don't have enough Polaroids to completely cover your wall, you can just make a large grid.The aesthetic you want to create is up to you.Later on, you can add more Polaroids.
Step 2: The back of a Polaroid has 4 pieces of double-sided tape.
A piece of double-sided tape is about 2.5 cm off of its roll.You can put it on the back of a Polaroid picture.For each corner of the photo, repeat this.You can use regular clear tape if you don't have double-sided tape.To make a small loop that is sticky on both sides, double the tape back over itself, with the sticky side facing out.
Step 3: The Polaroid photo should be placed on the wall where the top edge of the grid will be.
Make sure the top edge of the picture is straight by holding it up to the wall.Press the photo against the wall and apply pressure to the corners to help the tape adhere.Start at the top of your grid.You can use the ceiling to align the first photo.You might end up with a crooked grid if you don't.
Step 4: To create a column, stick photos below the first Polaroid.
In your first column of Polaroids, choose all the pictures you want.Stick double-sided tape on the back of each photo, in all 4 corners, and stick the Polaroids one-by-one below the preceding photo until you complete the column.If you decided that your grid is going to be 12 photos tall, you should put 11 more pictures under the first Polaroid.You end up with a neat grid if you put the edges of your photos against each other.
Step 5: You can make a grid of pictures by creating columns of Polaroids.
You can put another Polaroid at the top of the wall.There is an equal number of photos next to the ones in the first column.Continue to add columns until you get the width that you want.If you want your grid to be 14 photos wide, you should create 13 columns next to the first one.If you have Polaroids with different orientations, make sure that the photos in 1 row are the same size and orientation.
Step 6: An old picture frame can be upcycled into a photo frame.
If the wood picture frame has the glass and backing, you have to remove it.Tie a piece of string or wire between the screw pairs of frame hanging on the inside vertical edges of the frame.Attach your Polaroids to the string or wire with clothespins, hang them on your wall.You could use one large frame that takes up a lot of your wall, or use a smaller frame and mix it in with other framed art and pictures on the wall.The look that you want for your space can be achieved with creativity.This way to hang Polaroid pictures is cool because you can keep the frame on the wall and swap out the pictures whenever you want.You can unclip a photo and put a new one up.
Step 7: You can use Polaroids to string lights.
You can hang string lights from your ceiling against the wall.Clothespins can be used to clip Polaroids to the light cables.The wall gallery for your Polaroids is created by this.While admiring the photos you have taken and being reminded of good memories, you can turn off your main lights and relax in the dim glow of the fairy lights.
Step 8: There are Polaroid arrangements that can be displayed with a glass picture frame.
If you want to display multiple Polaroid pictures, open up a glass picture frame and lay them out.To hang the frame on the wall, close the glass and sandwich the pictures in place.You could use a bunch of photos to make a big picture.To create a more minimal look, you could only space out a few.Whatever you think looks best, do it.You can use the Polaroids in the glass frame as a sandwich to give it a different look.You could use dried leaves to give the photos an Autumn look.
Step 9: For a shabby chic look, put your Polaroids on a wooden shutter.
Clothespins can be used to clip photos to the shutter slats.Hang the shutter on the wall.If you want to make the shutters look like they belong to the window, you can make 2 shutter galleries and hang them on your wall.If you don't have clothespins, you could use double-sided tape to stick the photos to the shutter slats.
Step 10: Attach Polaroids to a cork, foam, or magnetic board to make a decoration.
There are cork, foam, and magnetic boards on the wall.If you want to stick your Polaroids to a cork board, use thumbtacks or another type of pin.Put your photos on a magnetic board with magnetic clips.You can pin up things like work notes or recipes on these types of boards, which are great for home offices or kitchens.
Step 11: Use washi tape to add fun accents to your wall.
There are many different colors and patterns of washi tape.It's a good idea to place it across the corners or edges of your Polaroid photos.You don't have to worry about damaging your photos or wall because washi tape is easy to remove.
