How To: DIY Framed “Art”

If you’re like me, you’re always looking for ways to make a high impact statement in a room on a low-impact budget.  DIY framed “art” is one of my favorite ways to add a gorgeous and inexpensive finishing touch to a room (plus it’s super easy).

SUPPLIES: First start with a piece of decorative paper, fabric or gift wrap you love (if using gift wrap, I recommend using one that has a matte finish).  I chose the fabulous paper I was so excited about here.  Next you’ll need a great frame and a picture mat.  Make sure you have double-sided tape and scissors on hand, and you’re ready to DIY.

FINISHED PRODUCT: Put it all together and you’re done… easy as pie!

IN THE ROOM: Assemble two hanging them side-by-side, and you can really make a statement!

BTW: Wondering where to find great paper to get inspired.  These are some of my faves: Papyrus, Paper Source, Snow & Graham & Kate’s Paperie
