I saw this activity on photojojo this morning and ran right out for bulldog clips to get started.
Unfortunately, my local Office Depot does not carry them in stock (nor does the next one down the street, which I stupidly thought was a different chain… but was the same chain!) so I got these over the top zebra-printed binder clips instead.
As you can see they match the weird zebra theme we have in the office. But that’s a story for another day.
Back to the activity.
Why’s It Cool?
Why would you cover your walls with bulldog clips and hang a bunch of photos? So many reasons. It’s super cheap, it’s ridiculously easy, and it requires practically no skill. Plus it means you can change the photos you have up at any time with practically zero effort.
If you have binder clips around and some fun snapshots that you’re meaning to Do Something With, this project can be done in the span of the tiniest nap.
The instructions on Photojojo for the bulldog clip photo wall give variations like OCD-style and tips for not creasing your photos. Check ‘em out.
If you want to go the high-end route, read Whitney’s instructions for the classier “Family Photo Wall.”

we didn’t want to leave that many holes so we did this with lengths of string and clothespinned photos up on one wall in our son’s room works great but i can see how nails and binder clips would be better!
That’s a great idea! Cute, cheap and easy to change! I like it! Thanks for sharing!!
I love this idea! I think it will be great at work on my tiny little cubicle wall!
We love this idea! It’s so creative and cheap!
