Easy
Decorating doesn't have to be expensive. When a little creativity, gift wrapping paper and art supplies, you have everything you need to create quick inexpensive wall art.
Materials
Make your gift wrapping and paint color selections. I'm making two wall art pieces that will go side by side. So I am using complimentary gift wrapping and colors.
Roll out the gift wrapping paper onto the cardboard backing that comes with the frame. Cut and tape in place.
For the 1st painting I am white washing the area where I am placing the words. "Dream Big" is the phrase of choice. Feel free to use what ever phrase you desire.
Dream is written free hand. For the word Big I used Stencils. Touch up and highlight with the paint of choice. I used metallic paint and markers.
For the 2nd art piece tape to the cardboard backing of the frame, like with the 1st painting.
Draw with a pencil the heart and the word love. There is no way to mess this up. You are not aiming for perfection. The goal is to just spell "love" correctly.
Using Metallic paint brush the paint onto the gift wrap. The pencil markings should still come through.
Paint over the lines. This is an imperfect perfect heart, like love.
"Dream Big"
"Love"
