  Now that you’ve glanced through all the amazing talent & gorgeous walls, here’s my little tutorial! diy vintage postcard art Back in January I made a trip down to Florida with Brian’s family & came back with some really neat vintage postcards of buildings in Detroit. I’ve been hooked on Detroit Architecture ever since I took a class in college, so I grabbed a few to display at home! I wanted to do a gallery wall that was grid-like, but since my postcards were different sizes, I had to come up with a way to make them look more uniform. Enter Pinterest & this brilliant blogger: Link Here Brilliant! So I set out to figure out how she did it. Basically here are her steps: Step 1: Choose your postcards. Ok, I want these ones Step 2: Decide the frame size you need. Well, I’ll buy some 8×8 frames like she did. Step 3: Order custom mattes for $11 per frame. It’s OK It’s worth it. Nope, not doing that. Step 4: the trick to a perfect wall gallery grid is to…hire someone to put the frames up for you? uhhh… not in my budget I love the look, but I just can’t pay for frames, custom mattes, and a professional hanger. So here’s how I did it for $5 per frame! I scoured about town looking for 8×8 frames that came with mattes. After searching high and low, I finally found these frames at Michaels: It’s actually a shadow box, but it was the only one I could find that had a matte small enough that I could customize. & it was on sale for $5. The only problem was there were only 6 in stock, & I didn’t feel like going to another store after already running around town to find these. So I guess 6 will do for now! I got them home, opened them up & took out the matte. To customize each matte, all I used was a pencil, a utility knife, and a nail file. I traced around each postcard: vintage postcard diy trace   Then used the utility knife to cut out the shape. diy vintage postcard 8   I went a little smaller than what was traced so that the matte would sort of ‘hold’ the postcard in place. diy vintage postcard 7   This is how it looked after I cut it. Kinda rough. Kinda like after you clip your nails? 🙂 diy vintage postcard 6 So I tried a nail file to finish off the edges! And it worked like a charm! diy vintage postcard 5   Here’s the after. You’d never know I did this myself. diy vintage postcard 4   & I got better with each frame I made. diy vintage postcard 3   You’ll never see the tiny imperfections. diy vintage postcard 2   Especially when it’s behind glass on the wall. diy vintage postcard 1 As to how I did the grid? The good old fashioned guess and check way! Now, if I could only find 6 more frames, my vintage postcard gallery will be complete!

Great idea. I especially like the tip about using the nail file. Every time I’ve cut matting, I feel like my cuts are so rough. Definitely going to try using a file next time. Thanks!

Thank you Sarah! I was getting the same issues, but the nail file cleaned it up nicely

I love this idea! I have some vintage postcards from when I lived in Spain and this would be the perfect thing to do with them!

Love it! Looks so cohesive and very artsy. I have been saving my anniversary cards in order to make a wall like this in my office. I didn’t think of using shadow boxes. Definitely looks better.

That’s great that you customized store bought frames and matts. You’ve got mad hanging skills! I just bought some post cards and frames for our hallway upstairs. Now I can’t wait to hang them. 😉

Love how you made your mats – you did a great job and I love your little gallery wall – so pretty.

Ok, nail file? Love it!! I like that the frames are uniform and the postcards are not. And, I really like where you put them. There’s something about Detroit! Good job!

Love this, you make resizing the mats look so easy. I always get deterred from doing that but the nail file is genius!

These look great! I’m all about taking something and making it work for a project! I would have never thought of using a nail file to make sure the edges of the matte were clean! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Crystal ~ I love this project! I’m always finding awesome postcards at the thrift stores, and now I know how I’m going to use them! Thanks for sharing how you customized the mattes, too! Have a great day!

Thanks for this DIY, I’ve got so many old family photos that I’d love to display & this is a great way to showcase them. Now the hard part will be to pick which photos I want to use
