My First Lomowall Project!

So I always wanted a huge wall with pictures from our journey together. While living in Burlington, Vermont we lined a living room wall with cardboard and covered it with 4x6 photos. The result was, well, not as nice as I envisioned.

So, tonight I fired up the Canon i9900 and found a box of Kodak Premium Photo Paper (4x6) for $5.99. Half an hour later, and we completed our first lomo wall!

Lomo wall recipe:

  • two boxes of lomo clips (here)
  • six thumb tacks
  • 60 4x6 prints (or whatever size, as long as they are all the same)
  • Best of all, it's VEGAN!
Clip them together as you wish. You will need a large, flat, freshly vacuumed area. Sprinkle in some patience as well, as the clips can be hard to use at first - they are snug and tend to bend the prints. Also, if each one is not lined up perfectly, you will have some bumps. After you can fix it all.

We are planning on making an even bigger one for the living room. I'll keep you posted.
