Every time I see a gallery wall, I oooh! and awww! over them. I have quite a few in my inspiration folder and I couldn't wait to get started on my own in my home in California. As you know, I really can't sit still and just not do anything, so I started and finished this project in one day over break! Here's how it looked before:

See that little picture frame above? I made it by framing an inexpensive piece of fabric. I painted the wood frame white then made flowers for the frame.
Just take a long strip of fabric and twist it like this. Then coil the fabric in a circle, twisting as you go. It will end up looking like this:
This is my favorite picture of me when I was little. I'm hugging the statue of a lion at the zoo:
