Upcycle a Magazine into Pretty Wall Art

If you're anything like me, you probably have a huge collection of magazines
stacked up in the corner of your room ready for collages, scraps and what-have-you...

I found this tutorial that makes a beautiful piece of art.

Put Shutters on Your Bulletin Board

This tutorial is so great! 

I love the chic look of putting shutters over top your bulletin board.

You can find out how to do it yourself here at Crafty Nest.

Paint Chip Art

As a crafting hoarder in denial,

whenever I go to the Home Depot or Lowes, 

I grab as many paint chips as I can shove into my purse... 

and sure, sometimes they come in handy

with different projects...

but this one at Aunt Peaches

looks so great!

and I can empty my 

shoebox of paint samples.

I'm going to do one for my bathroom!

Add Texture to your Art!

I love tree art!

A little Plaster of Paris can add a lot to your paintings!

"Have you ever wished you could afford original art work for your home rather than a cute print that everyone and their dog has?  Well, you may not think of yourself as a painter, but I'm going to walk you through doing some easy, textured paintings for your home."... Read More.

Photo Canvas Wall Art

You can pick up Canvas Paper at Home Depot!

(who knew!?)

And here's a fun how-to set up a fun family wall display with photo canvases!

"I have been dying to make/buy a photo canvas for quite some time. My dad has a beautiful one, with a photo of a Hibiscus flower. It’s amazing. And I’ve seen great options around blog land too, but I just wasn’t sure quite what I wanted to do. The photo canvases can be pretty expensive – usually over $100 I think...." Read more.

Geek out with this Periodic Table Craft!

Nothing says geeky like a periodic table influenced craft,

and I LOVE it!

Knit. Craft. Sewww Cute!

Find out how this was done by clicking here!

I think mine's gonna be "Sx, Rx, Ro"

Sex Drugs & Rock n' Roll baby!

a little too cliche?

I'll work on it.

Simple Paper Flowers

Aren't these a cute addition?!

These paper flowers are a great project! All you need is paper and some ribbons. You can always go in a more colorful direction for parties and such things. :)

The tutorial below is inspired by this Paper Source kit (which is nice because the flowers are pre-punched, there are templates and it comes with wire/tape to make stems). My way is a bit more freehand so check your perfectionism at the toolbar... Read More

Vintage Record Cover Wall Art

After seeing this tutorial for Vintage Record Cover Wall Art

I know I'll be hitting up Good Will for some cool looking record covers!

How funky is this!?

I don't have enough room on my walls for all this stuff! Ah!

I need to make more friends to make stuff for! :)

Monogram Family Initial

This Monogram Family Initial project is great!

So adorable! I think the Black and White gives it a nice touch.

What better way to proudly display your family and family name?! 

Just be careful not to leave anyone out!

That could be awkward...

Button Frame

This button frame is too cute!

House Diorama

This house diorama is a great gift!

I just moved into a new house with my parents, 

and this would make my mom's day! 

Plus it's so attractive looking!

I think I know what I'm making her for Christmas this year :)

Children's Book Wall Decor

Take an old children's book to create wall art for a kid's room!

Isn't this precious!

Pretty simple, all you need is a child's picture book, frames, and some glue.

Fabric Wall Art

Isn't this the cutest little presentation?! I can see this in any room!

You don't always need paint to decorate a canvas, sometimes some cute fabric can do the trick! In this tutorial, you can use Photofabric and print your own designs. That's fancy and I'd love to do that, but I'm rather poor and going around buying photofabric paper and designs is just a little too much for me unforunately. But I have plenty of scraps lying around, and a trip to Jo Ann's won't hurt! Improvise!

That's what I love about tutorials - 

I try to use them as a means for creative inspiration 

rather than something to create a carbon copy of. 

Vintage Sewing Patterns Wall Art

Perfect for a child's room!

These are cute for a child's room. All you do is take a vintage sewing pattern cover and frame it!
Simple as that! How awesome!

You can easily find old patterns on ebay or etsy.
