Our Frames | DIY Magazine Art

Welcome back guys!

Due to previous requests we have finally uploaded a new video showing how we utilize hanging frames in our home and also a quick DIY project with magazines. Yeah, sounds odd but stand by! ;-)

Check out the $3 DIY Magazine Art here!

When it comes to hanging artwork there are no rules! We believe in hanging what holds significant value to you and your family without getting too tacky. Examples of unconventional artwork are:

• Artwork that your children made. It really doesnt matter if it is scribble or finely crafted double-rainbows, artwork made by children is not only adorable, but adds a cool touch to 'adult' decor. ( Try to use pieces that go with colors in the room you're decorating )
• Old sheet music, pilot logs, chemistry diagrams, etc. Showing/hanging accomplishments is fine as long as its done tastefully. Hanging every award you've had since middle school throughout your home will make you nostalgic, but everyone else weirded out. Hanging diplomas and such in an office space is totally cool, but beyond that - not recommended! Also, use alternatives to diplomas and trophies by using old sheet music that you have laying around or something visually appealing that you are really proud of.
• Good ol' fashioned purchased art. We know that not everyone exited the womb wielding Crayolas, so purchasing your artwork/prints is totally OK! The best places to snag them are your local craft stores. They tend to have blowout sales that start on Sundays and offer art for as low as $5! Take your time sorting through the lots, and check online resources for coupons. (RetailMeNot, Shopular, Coupons.com)

All in all, have fun with creating art! You can grab a piece of fabric from an old dress or shirt and make that into art as well by cutting it into a cool pattern. The project we demonstrated shows how to use an old magazine to quickly create artwork for your favorite space. Be sure to check out the tutorial and share your creations with us! Thanks for stopping by again and showing love - 

see ya in the next post.

Love in the details,
