He took photography classes in university and knows 1000 times more about it than I do.

Then I thought, why not share the love?So that’s where this post is coming from..

TIP #1: Take your photos in portrait layout., or crop them to be taller than they are wide..Photos in portrait take up about twice as much Pinterest real estate as ones in landscape, so they’re just more eye-catching.. Something like this:.

Is better than this:.TIP #2: Use words like “How to” or “Make a” or “DIY” or even “Handmade”..

This lets the reader know that this is something that they can do themselves, learn about, and that there’s something in it for them when they click over to your site, or re-pin to read later..

TIP #3: Make your lettering HUGE!.I love the detail of the stained edges too..

When Kristen sends you your sign, it will come with two pre-drilled holes for hanging.. She’ll also send along these two super long silver-toned push pins that you can use to hang the sign on your wall..The signs are super lightweight so the push pins are really all it takes.

The signs are also really strong though, as I dropped mine several times on my tour around the house and it didn’t even chip.My heart stopped for a second there, but everything was just fine!.
