DIY Wall Art

Last month i decided to revamp my guest room aka my 'make-up room'. I got rid of our old desk and replaced it with a couple more Alex Drawers from Ikea with a glossy white table top.  This made such a difference for my work space because the set of wide Alex drawers i had were stuffed full and i was in desperate need of extra space.  I knew I'd wanted to add some fun wall art above my new vanity but didn't want to spend a whole ton of money on the project because lets face it... prints can get expensive!  So i decided to take matters into my own hands!  I thought about a few fun quotes that i might want to incorporate into my wall art and definitely had a color scheme in mind!  I wanted a coral pink, gold, white frames and a bit of sparkle without making it too over the top.  For this project i went to my local Michael's Arts and Crafts store and walked up and down various aisle in search of inspiration.  I wound up with a few sheets of coral/pink scrapbooking paper, white card stock, a sheet of really pretty sparkly paper drenched with the word 'love' and two other sparkly card stock papers (one pink and one speckle with silver and gold).   I also picked up a set of large, metallic gold stick on letters.  Then i went to Target and purchased a few 8x10 white Room Essentials Frames as well as some 4x4 frame also from Room Essentials which were incredibly affordable.  When i got home, i began to play!  I traced a couple of hearts and layered them against a sparkly background and vice versa.  When i settled on a look i began figuring out a way to make the hearts cohesive. Next, i began placing the gold metallic letters strategically on the 8x10 paper to create some cheeky quotes. Lastly, for the one square frame left, i thought it'd be fun to create a kiss art print!  I simply put on some lipstick, kissed a piece of white paper and inserted into the frame... easy!  I was so proud of the way my wall art turned out!  So fun and super affordable!  Anyone can do this... just use your imagination and go go go!
