DIY Wall Art

We moved to a new apartment last September, but we're still working on decorating the rooms.
I know it's taken a while, but we had a baby in October and her nursery was a major project (that I haven't finished yet, oh well) etc etc.
Anyway, my beloved husband suggested putting up different kinds of photos on the wall above the sofa (great idea, honey!).  We decided to mix personal photos and art.

I had wooden frames from Goodwill and I tried using them a variety of ways, but it never looked quite right.
So I decided to create my own art! It's super easy and affordable.
Here is what you need:
Photo frames
Dollar store dictionary (or any cheap book that you can take pages out of)
Paper for mounting (optional)

All you need is to find images online, print them onto the dictionary page, mount them with your favorite paper as a background and, voila! You are an artist!

Our printer was acting up and it didn't print the silhouettes in the same shade, but I think it still looks pretty good! But I can always try to print them again... after all, I still have over 200 pages in the dollar store dictionary!


リビングのソファ後ろ一面を色々な写真立てで埋めるという企画を実行中。

かなり前に購入した木枠をそのまま掛けてたのですが、なーんか物足りない。
やっぱ枠は中に何か飾って何ぼっしょ。と突如ヤンキー風を吹かせて壁掛け作り開始。

まずは辞書を$1ストアにて入手、後はウェブで好みのシルエットを画像検索して選択、
辞書のページに印刷して、これまた好きな紙で縁取りをして(しなくても可)額に張れば完成☆
通常の写真立てならば裏から貼る手間は省けますな。
簡単!季節やイベント、アイディアや組み合わせを考えるのも楽しい。



しかしながら未だ写真立ては足らず。むむ。現在卵形の額を捜索中。
完成は何時の日になるのやら、フレーム探しの旅はまだまだ続く。
