An Inexpensive and Easy Wall Art Idea

Blue and white animal print! LET’S GO!

In amazing news, this paper includes my love color and pattern, fits in with my home decor, and makes me do a happy double-take every time I look at it.

Alas, the recipe for how to choose wall art!

So, instead of saving for wrapping packages, I framed it!

Over and over again!

Easy Peasy!

I found this fantastic set of NINE square frames that are perfect for the job. They have a brushed gold frame with an included white mat.

Nine frames give me huge flexibility. I can hang individually throughout the house OR I can hang together for a dramatic grid effect!

Time to give my $2.99 roll of wrapping paper a museum frame makeover!

Truly, it is as simple as framing a photograph.

First, cut the paper larger than the mat opening and tape it on.

Tip: I use painter’s tape to attach the paper. It adheres securely to the mat yet, I can remove it easily without damaging the paper or mat if I change out paper later on.

Then, slip the back of the frame back on and you are ready to hang!

Boom! Did I mention EASY!

So bold and graphic and, yet, so crisp and classic!

One frame of blue and white animal print looks beautiful on its own.

All nine frames of blue and white animal print are AMAZING!

Earlier, I mentioned a strange little space in my home that needed some wall art.

This little alcove is the connector space between our living room and our primary bedroom. It is very functional as there is a closet. It is also good to have just a little separation space between the two rooms. It is a nice little space.

However, it is also a little odd when trying to figure out some wall art.

The space needed something narrow but also something bold as it is in the direct sightline from the kitchen.

Wrapping paper to the rescue!

One frame would be nice. Indeed, three would be lovely.

NINE creates the classic drama moment that was needed. Floor to ceiling frames!

And, why stop with the space just by the door? Why not create more interest by including the wall just outside the alcove?

It is a small space. Yet, by loading it up with the frames, the space seems bigger. It also balances with the rest of the living room.

$2.99 can go a long way!

Cheers!
