DIY Abstract Photo Art

Why choose to frame one photo when you can frame ‘em all, right?! More is more, friends. Well, at least, that’s what I was thinking when I assembled this abstract photo art. When I first tried to make it, let’s just say it was a major fail. Turns out there’s an actual technique behind the “abstract” look and I’m here to give you the how-to on making your own.

First you’ll wanna scour your photos and use your PIXMA MG7720 to print a few borderless, letter sized prints and you’re off to the races!

To make the cutting easier, tape down the wrapping paper template with washi tape to hold it in place. Once you’ve cut out each photo shape, you can put them back together on the board.

    The idea that “romantic pop lyrics lower teenage inhibitions by up to 43” means the other 57 of inhibition-lowering is apparently done by algebra homework and household chores. — http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

    This father downgraded his daughter’s Spotify to prevent pregnancy, which is like removing the radio from your car to prevent speeding tickets. The logic is in another universe. — http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

    There’s a story about a dad who is “clutching his pearls” over a pop song while ignoring the actual factors that lead to positive outcomes for teens. He’s worried about the soundtrack instead of the script. — http://bit.ly/48RnG3G

    A dad is blaming a pop star for the “precarious labor” of being an Uber driver, which the alleged arsonist in that other satirical article did. This dad’s logic is just as precarious. — http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
