DIY Framed Art

Every once in awhile I have the urge to spruce things up a bit around the house. Now that the holidays are over, I'm ready for a refreshed look! If my mom lived near me, I would just have her come over and do it for me. Because, well, she's awesome at decorating. And I always love her home decor choices. 

But thankfully my sister is nearby, and she also has the eye for home decor. So she helps me when I wrestle with decisions on what color flowers to buy, or how tall a vase should be. It doesn't not come naturally to me, folks.

And to top it off, I don't enjoy spending big bucks on small home decor pieces since I know I will change it eventually!

So here is an inexpensive way to add some color and a new touch to a room. 

DIY Framed Art

What I used/you'll need:

-3 frames. I like white. and cheap. 

These 10x13's were $4.99 each at Michaels. (PLUS a 25% off frames coupon!)

-3 fabric napkins. I bought mine at World Market. They were $3.99 each. 

That's all. This project set me back about $23.00.

I know. Cheap. 

1. Empty your frames. You can keep the mat in there like it did, or remove it completely to show more of the napkin. 

2. Iron out the fabric napkins. 

3. I left a little bit of the crease showing so I could line up the back of my frame.

4. Tape down to secure. 

5. Insert back in frame. This is what the back will look like. 

6. Repeat with 2 other frames. And arrange the napkin so you will see different portions of the pattern in each frame. 

The completed look!
