Make & keep
Make a photo-strip mosaic from duplicate frame tiles
Reassemble repeated portrait details into a new grid composition.
A mosaic turns repeated copies into a pattern while keeping each source frame identifiable. Decide whether the goal is a regular grid or a gradual colour shift, then cut only duplicates so the original sequence stays complete.
Choose the tile
Print several copies on paper of similar thickness. Cut one repeated feature—such as a face, sleeve or background patch—into equal squares using a ruler and cutting mat. Make a test row first; tiny tiles lose detail quickly.
Plan the image
Arrange tiles on a backing sheet before attaching them. Keep orientation consistent for a calm grid, or rotate selected tiles for a deliberate rhythm. Leave a small even gap between tiles if the joins look crowded; do not stretch the image by changing tile sizes mid-row.
Attach and label
Glue from the centre outward and check each row against a straight edge. Add a note naming the source strip, copy date and any cropping. If the face becomes hard to recognise, enlarge the tile size or reserve one intact frame as an anchor.
