DIY Cheap Wall Art... - Love of Family & Home

While trying to decide on wall art for my laundry room & after seeing my friend Jessica’s DIY chargers, I decided to make a trip to JoAnn Fabrics to check out some fabric for my new space.

I decided on the fabric to the far right, thinking that the light green color in the fabric would go well with my wall color. I had an idea for some wall art, but wasn’t sure how it was going to look. I almost talked myself out of it, but I knew it wasn’t going to cost a lot of money, so I decided just to go for it!

The fabric was on sale for $6.99/yd and I decided I would only need half of a yard for what I had in mind…

Total cost for the fabric – $3.50

Then I went to the dollar store & bought 3 of these frames for $1 a piece…

Total cost for the frames – $3.00

I took the glass out of them & painted the frames white using some white paint I already had laying around the house…

I wanted each picture to look unique, so I cut out 3 different sections of the fabric using the glass as my pattern. I did cut the fabric a little larger than the size of the glass however, because I want a little extra to work with…

I put the glass back in the frame and the placed the fabric inside…

I also placed a sheet of white paper behind the fabric, so the cardboard backing of the frame didn’t shine through fabric…

Then I put the cardboard backing back on…

You can trim the extra fabric off if you want, I will be honest I just left the extra because once the print is hanging, you can’t see it anyway!! You can see that I also didn’t paint the back side of the frame as well
