Rather than displaying isolated photos around your apartment or on your electronic devices, a collage of photos can often be a great way to showcase several photos from a vacation, party, or other event. While a photo collage project can be approached in many different ways, here are two simple methods for making a photo collage:

1. Online – There are numerous free apps for both mobile devices and laptops that allow you to select and arrange photos for a collage. Though the specific steps will vary depending on which app you are using, the basic process should remain the same. First, you’ll need to choose a layout for your collage from the app’s available templates. Then, select the photos you will add. Once your photos are in the layout, you will likely be able to change the sizes of your photos and add special effects like a filter, stickers, or border. Once you’re done, be sure to save your collage so you can share it with friends and family, if you so choose.
2. With printed photos – Although just about everything can be done online these days, creating a photo collage with printed photos can be a great way to spend an afternoon. To begin, print out the photos for your collage. You’ll also need to choose a frame for your collage, making sure you have the right size for the amount of photos you plan to use. Next, cut out the parts of each photo that you are going to put in your collage and arrange them on a thin piece of cardboard or paper. Once you have found the perfect spot for each photo, glue them in place one at a time. After all your photos are glued and dried, put the collage in your frame and place it on your coffee table, dresser, or other spot for everyone to enjoy.
