Easy DIY Wall Art

Have you ever spent a long time searching for a piece of art work to match your decor? I sadly face this dilemma all the time! I’ve had an empty space above my nightstand in my bedroom that has been begging for art work. A few months ago I paid $20 for a beach scene print that matched nicely but it was an awkward size and when I went to the store to have it framed they told me the custom frame would cost $450!!

$450?? I nearly passed out on the floor!!

I decided that I needed to make this into a DIY project so I headed to the local craft store. I walked up and down the scrapbook paper aisle and found a beautiful piece of 79 cent scrapbook paper that had greenery on it….a perfect match for my bedroom decor! Next, I headed to the photo frame aisle and found a frame that was 50% off! Perfect.

I went home and placed my green scrapbook paper inside the frame and VOILA….a new piece of artwork for my bedroom that was inexpensive and a perfect match!

Have you tried creating your own art work??
