I gave up. I have to be honest, I haven’t been enjoying
the thrift stores of late. Their prices
are ridiculously high and the selection is less than stellar. I've been hoping to find some cute and
affordable art to hang on the walls of the bedroom I redid this past summer but, no luck. So I did what I felt was necessary and I just
gave up. And then I made some myself.
I had an idea in
my head of what I was looking for and I found a lot of inspiration on
pinterest. Of course, who doesn't? I printed out my own pictures on plain copy
paper, picked up a couple plain white frames at Dollar Tree and made my own
wall art. I think they turned out super
cute!
I was further
inspired to take an embroidery piece I had made several years ago and frame it
as well. Then I added a couple pieces my
daughter's had made for me and that was it, I was all done.
A combination of
making my own stuff and using what I already had on hand and I was all
set. I spent a whopping $3.75 on
supplies to make this happen too. Not
too shabby, huh?
I think art from family/friends is much more meaningful than prints so I'm loving what you've done! Great job creating the artwork display.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Thank you
DeleteLove it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy
DeleteYour so right about thrift stores.
ReplyDeleteI stick to garage and estate sales now.
I look for ideas when I'm out and about.
I take pictures of things I love. Then use things I already have to make it my own.
I'm glad your still blogging.
I love blogging :)
DeleteLove it! It’s definitely super cute in the new room. I love Raggedy Ann and Andy. 😍. And I’m definitely with you on the thrift store prices…some have gotten way out of hand.
ReplyDeleteThe price of everything is pretty crazy right now.
