Do it Yourself Wall Art Decor (Great Tip for Any Style)

August 18, 2012 by 12 Comments

I am all about, Do it Yourself Wall Art Decor, especially when it takes a few minutes and cost a few bucks.  Remember the art I made for our foyer using a piece of colorful contact paper as my stencil?  Before peeling away the stencil to paint, the stencil adhered to the canvas looked like a perfect piece of art (here).  Fast forward a bit…I was shopping at Target and on clearance was a tubed wall decal for just a few bucks…here’s what I did with it!

I measured the width and length and cut a piece of wood.  I used my favorite staining technique (here), peeled the sticker, and adhered it to the board.  Instant artwork!

I love how boy this is…and usually framed maps are priced high, stained board and a clearance wall adhesive ended up costing me just a few dollars!  I placed the map above the thrifty finds that I showed you the other day!?  And next to the thrifty finds is an old clip board that I purchased for a dime at an estate sale.  We’re using it for Big B to display his most recent artwork…today, a rocket ship.  I hope to find more vintage clip boards and fill this wall up with masterpieces!

Here are a couple of wall decals I’m considering for Little B’s room…using a colorfully painted board…or maybe, just plain classic white as my backdrop. (A monogram or quote would be cute, too).  This is what I call EAST do it yourself wall art decor!
