Framed Wallpaper
We absolutely love the framed wallpaper look! Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but also it is super easy to do. Simply hang a piece (or several pieces) of wallpaper either vertically or horizontally, and then create a ‘frame’ around it with painted wooden trim from your local hardware store. Here are some examples.
Fired Ink Art
The process couldn’t be simpler. Remove the glass from a picture frame. Drop alcohol inks onto the glass, and then add rubbing alcohol. Swirl to combine, and then light the alcohol on fire. As the inks and alcohol burn, they create beautiful designs. Once the fire has burned out, you can back the glass with white paper and place it into your frame for an instant DIY art. Here are some examples.
Cut Canvas Wall Art
Inexpensive to make and easily spice up any room! You need a canvas, a geometric stencil that can be found online, exacto knife, rubber, tape and scissors. Firstly, stick the stencil on the back of the canvas. Hold the canvas up to a light source so that you can trace the design. Once that is completed, cut out the shapes that you traced with the stencil. To get rid of any pencil marks or smudges, simply paint over the canvas with some white paint. And that’s it!
