Make a Letter Collage - Step by Step Instructions

Let's see how to make a collage from letters of DIY.

We'll use screenshots of the Windows PC app for this demo. Still, Mac users can follow the same steps because the interface and functionality are similar on both platforms.

A Letter Photo Collage representing the letters DIY

1. Open FigrCollage software, and click "Use Text" as the shape as shown in the screenshot below. Enter the letter, word, or text you want to turn into a photo collage. For this example, we will make a collage for "DIY". You may want to set a font for your text.

This screenshot of FigrCollage shows how to set a letter, text, or word as the shape for our collage.

2. Add Pictures to use in the collage. For this example, we have used pictures of flowers.
