Today I framed the original 151 Pokemon cards

For the last few months I've been collecting the original 151 Pokemon cards, and today I finally put them all together as some office art for my company. Here's how I did it.

Got all the pieces together. That's a custom order frame (£80). Also I needed way more than 1 superglue, I ended up buying 4.

I took the MDF backing off wrapped it in this black fabric. Then stapled the back together.

I made it as tort as possible.

This took ages, making sure everything was lined up, the first cross was the hardest.

Here the cross is complete. You can see I dropped some superglue (hence the white spot in the bottom left section).

So for hours, and I mean maybe 4/5 hours I painstakingly stuck 151 sheets to this piece of MDF. I watched the Brighton v Burnley game as I did it.

Nearly done.

Done. You can see I had to leave 2 spaces in the bottom right.

Time to start slipping the cards in...

Half way through. Double checking the order as I go

Done. Every card is in.

Now I had to take the clear plastic from the frame, put it on, and peel back the protective layer. This was SO SATISFYING.

So satisfying...

Done. I think it came out well.

Pretty big.

It's going to go on the wall just above that sofa for everyone to see.

I hope you enjoyed it. If anyone is looking to make one I'm happy to give tips!
