Supplies Needed: Poster board (cut slightly larger than the frame you wish to use), glue or double-sided tape, scissors, triangle template to trace (mine was 2.5 inches on each side of the triangle using a ruler), paint swatches in colors you love, vintage book pages, and a few of your favorite photos. 
1. Cut triangles from a template (so that they are all the exact same size and shape) 2. Arrange the cut-outs on the poster board however you like. Be sure to lay them all out before adhering any triangles, so you can make sure you love your design! 3. I glued the cut-outs (with Mod Podge) onto the page the first time I made this project. The glue caused the poster board to warp a little, so the second time I made it I used double sided tape instead! 4. After the glue has dried completely, trim off excess edges. Frame your art, if you like! 
Display your new art in your home! We're huge fans of this pretty mixture of texture, color and photos! Get brave with supply choices, the sky is the limit. XO. amanda + elsie

Paint swatch art is MY FAVORITE! That is how I made some framed Christmas art for 2010.
Love the great ideas! Never disappointed 🙂

This is a wonderful idea! I need some decoration for my dorm room and this seems totally perfect. It’s beautiful!
How lovely! I like the statement this piece makes. Maybe I’ll set aside time to make one this weekend.

One with wedding photos would be amazing!!

Wouldn’t that look brill on a wall?! I’ve been trying to think of something for the wall behind my bed and I think that’s so cute! I’m definately going to look into doing this!
This is such a cute idea.

oh that is unbelieveable wonderful!!!
i totally love it!

I think it’s pretty, but I think there should be more photo triangles..b/c my eyes are drawn more to the book pages, so the pictures are lost and it ends up looking like there’s more book pages versus photos. that’s what i would do at least, in my opinion
I’ve been wanting to do a piece of geometric art, and this is great inspiration! Can’t wait to give it a try.
Very cute and unexpected! Thanks so much for sharing. I love this!

This is a great idea. Such a fab way to display memories and mementos rather than shoved into a box!
oh, neat! i’d love to try this for file folders and things like that… 🙂

I almost never comment, but I’ve gotta say this project is freaking awesome!! I’ve wanted to do something edgy to contrast with too much ‘cute’ on my kitchen wall, and I can totally see this happening! Thanks so much for this!!!!
love the project, but I agree with Jessica for sure…just a few more pics than book pages and it would be perfect! cute idea though
Love this idea. It looks so lovely on your wall.
lovely!
I must start with my collages again, i miss it!

Love this project! As silly as this may sound, I had never thought of doing this manually, just on photoshop. Clever and really cute.
This is such a great idea!
rally cute =)

Lovely!! I love the neatness but randomness too! I have always been a fan of the mood boarding (weekends with magazines, scissors and coffee are the best!) but im contemplating a geometric moodboard to display somewhere…. thanx 🙂

Super cute!
This is such a cute idea. Hmm…I’m thinking of making one with funny pictures for the guest bathroom…haha! People always like funny things to look at in bathrooms. Love it!!!
Very pretty! I might just have to try this– been meaning to add some pizzazz to a couple walls, anyway!
Another great idea with paint swatches. Love it!
loved this a lot. Something really manageable and I’ve always loved the mixture of snippets of text and words.
Sourcing help – where are those paint chips from/ what paint company are they??
I love everything about this! its so fun and colorful.

Great idea!
