Heart Shaped Faux Polaroid Collage




HEART SHAPED FAUX POLAROID COLLAGE


Hello & welcome to my first ever CREATE post! ((internal screaming caused by my extreme excitement))


So, I've been contemplating for the longest time on what I should post about first and I was really torn between two things. Number 1, the one that I have most recently finished or number 2, the one that took me the longest time to get done. Long story short, I picked out the latter one as it is one of the most satisfying accomplishments I've ever had! It took me three summers to finish it 'cause I was such a lazy bum. HAHAHA.

For this D.I.Y. decor I really wanted to work with Polaroid photos, but the thing is that I didn't even own a Polaroid camera! Now I wasn't gonna go out and buy one just for this so I went ahead and made Polaroids of my own. So to anyone who doesn't want to spend as much, this tutorial is for you!

MATERIALS

  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Photos (the number of photos totally depends on you, but if you're gonna follow my design you're gonna need 72 photos)
  • Photo paper
  • Printer
  • Poladroid software -- I know there are a lot of Polaroid apps on Apple/Android but I personally prefer this one 'cause the photos save straight to your computer files

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Open Poladroid and a folder of the photos you want to display on your heart college. Start dragging your preferred photos onto the Poladroid camera and the films will start developing. Note: Poladroid's "cartridge" can only develop 10 pictures. If the cartridge empties, just exit the program then relaunch it.

  2. Once all your photos are ready and suit your desire, open Microsoft PowerPoint and set the page layout to A4 because most photo papers are in A4 size.
  3. Insert your Polaroid photos and begin arranging and fitting 6 photos per page. Don't forget to add borders so that it'll be easier to cut.
  4. Once that's all done, start printing!
  5. Now all you have to do is to cut the photos neatly and place them on your wall using tape. Note: I suggest using magic tape as they are easy to work with and leave no residue on the paper.


aaaaaaaannnddd that's it! It'll definitely take a while 'cause it's kinda a lot of work. Just make sure you conduct this project on a day when you aren't busy. Not only is this a cute wall art but it also doubles as a great backdrop for at-home photo shoots too!

If you happen to do this D.I.Y. decor idea, kindly upload it on Instagram with the hashtag #createbylxxreen ((shameless)). Leave a comment below if you have any questions! 'Til the next post xx

  2. What then does it mean to be an educator? Does it signify something different than the assigned job title? What I have learned through my work in higher education is that becoming an educator is not an automatic process. Everyone who is teaching adult students is not functioning as an engaging and highly effective educator. However, it is possible to learn how to educate rather than teach and that requires making a commitment to the profession. Model Paper 2021

  3. In terms of Entry 66 of List 1 of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India, Parliament is competent to make laws for the coordination and determination of standards in institutions for higher education for research, and scientific and technical institutions. Parliament has enacted laws for discharging this responsibility through: the University Grants Commission (UGC) for general Higher Education, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for Technical Education; and other Statutory bodies for other disciplines. 10th Model Paper 2021

  4. The quality of education of the child will determine the quality of life in nation. As iterated in: "In ancient shadows and twilights where childhood had strayed, the world's great sorrows were born And its heroes were made. In the lost boyhood of Christ was betrayed" therefore, education is compulsory, compulsory education is one of the essentials for stability of democracy, social integration and to eliminate social evils. Thus Right to education Act is one such step taken by the government to fulfill its responsibility in achieving the aforesaid goals. This paper does not provide very deep information pertaining to the act, but only those provision which have been much debated. It further suggests certain changes which are possible and if taken into account will for sure result in the betterment of the act. In this paper a comparison has been made, between the provisions of the act, its implementation and effects with those real life problems, by way of a background story being narrated by a young boy about his childhood experiences. Although this Act has been legislated with a bonafide intention by the government but still it seems to be a fraud in guise of welfare. acim blog
