You will need:
- Scissors
- Glue
- A3 paper (this will be the size of your poster, so you can use a bigger or smaller page if you like)
- A4 paper (to print your pictures out onto)
- Coloured pens
- Access to the internet and a colour printer
How to make it:
- Search the web for about 20 pictures that make you happy (I normally just go through my tumblr archive) and make sure you get some pictures of your current interests, such as your favourite actors or singers. Below are some examples of pictures I've used for my latest posters.

| Emily from Pretty Little Liars |
 |
| This is just a cute photo I wanted to add |
 |
| Who doesn't love sparklers? |
 |
| I say this way too much... |
- Load these pictures onto a Word document, (I use two A4 pages) making sure you leave a good amount of space between them.
- Print the pictures and cut them out
- Lay them down on an A3 page and decide how you’d like them to sit, leaving a generous space in one of the corners bare.
- When you’re happy with the layout, you can start gluing the pictures to your page.
- While you’re waiting for the glue to dry, you can use some coloured pens to write the current month/season and year in the corner you left bare. You could also draw some hearts etc. if you want (and if there's room).
- Tape/stick your poster to your wall, stand back and smile at your work!
That’s it!
I really hope some of you decide to do this yourself, because it only takes me about half an hour and I do it four times a year (the beginning of every season). I started doing this about a year ago, and my wall's already filling up. By the time I finish school, my whole wall should be covered with posters showing my current interests as I've grown up. I really hope you guys try this out, because I seriously think it's one of the best ways you can document your teenage years! xx
