I fell in love with this modern piece of art and wanted one for myself.
Now, let me explain a little something about myself.
I am impulsive. When I see something I want, sometimes I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive in the mail.
So I decided I would make my own.
I first went to HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, World Market, Ross, and Target trying to find the right size frame, striking out at each store.
So finally I went to a local thrift store and voila, there it was for $3.99.
Now that I had the frame, I needed a big blank canvas. I stopped in on my way home to the local dollar store and picked up a piece of white poster board for 50 cents.
Once I was home I promptly went to sketching out my design with a pencil and a ruler.
When I had drawn out what I liked, I painted it all in with black craft paint.
After it was dry, I popped it in my frame and voila.
I can't believe I only spent $4.49 on this entire project.
It just goes to show that art doesn't have to cost a fortune.
I love the graphic punch it gives to this room.
Here is a super close up if you are inspired to make your own and use this as a pattern.
Or, you could simply print this off and frame it!
I am not an artist by any means, but it was fun to be able to pull off a piece in a matter of hours and actually like how it turned out!
