Burlap Matting Makes Art and Photo Frames Extra Special

You might be surprised that the box from this morning’s bowl of cereal could become wall décor that rivals that of Pottery Barn. Just check out this burlap mat that Melissa from Redfly Creations created from cardboard. A spray painted secondhand frame makes this project all the more thrifty!

Easy Framed Sheet Music Art

Becca at From Gardners 2 Bergers is at it again with another easy way to create DIY artwork for your home. This go round it was a framed music sheet that caught Becca’s eye. Of course, she looked at it and knew it would be a piece of cake to make her own. I love how the sheet music adds a new element to Becca’s impressive gallery (most of which she’s created herself for next to nothing!).

Gold Leaf Bird Art

Naomi of Mrs. Fancee fell in love with gold leaf bird art she saw online… and then fell quickly out thanks to the $300 price tag. Naomi was determined to make her own version using gold leaf paint. She choose a similar background paper to that of her inspiration but chose a white frame for a lighter look. Naomi says, “This was a super easy project with a beautiful result!”

Wood Shim DIY Wall Art

This morning I shared a sunburst mirror that was created with wood shims. Katie from Upcycled Treasures also used the handy little sticks to create décor for her walls. She painted, cut, and pieced together her shims to make a large piece of framed wood art. Katie strategically placed her new artwork over a metal door in her hallway that was quite the eyesore. Don’t you love the texture of the uneven shims?
