How to Make a Photo Mosaic

I have to admit I am obsessed with these photo mosaics.  Ive given them as gifts for bridal showers, birthdays, and Christmas!  I also made one with all of the pictures from my wedding and had it printed on canvas and its hanging up in my living room looking absolutely fantastic!  Do you want to know the best part of all!?  Theyre actually SUPER easy to make!
