DIY Wall Art

My father-in-law recently painted our bathroom for me. It was builder white and we got paint called "Pearl Ash Gray" from Walmart. It is a very light gray, but it adds a bit of color and warmth that the bathroom was previously lacking.

I wanted some wall art to go with it and when I saw some crocheted flowers from an etsy seller, I knew I had to have them. Jmaeson makes these adorable little flowers. She even has butterflies now!

She sweetly worked with me to get the right color yellow flowers I wanted and even created a custom listing. I purchased 9 flowers from her for $4.50. Then I picked up this black frame from Walmart for $3.

If you already have a frame at home, skip buying a new one and paint the old one whatever color you need!

Next, I laid out some paper choices and my flowers. Get the feel for what works together. I decided on the blue paper to give my bathroom a pop of color in addition to the black and gray accesories already in there.

I just cut my paper down to size, and then used a tape runner to adhere the flowers. Even though my tape runner is white, you can't see it through the flowers. You could use a glue pen or even double sided tape if you wanted to.

Next, put a nail in the wall. You'll notice I didn't have a traditional hammer.

Hang and admire your handiwork. Also, notice how ugly the switchplate is.

Thanks Janie for helping me get the right color of sweet yellow flowers! I love the framed design and it adds some color and texture to my bathroom while still fitting with the casual, simple feel of the room.

Total project cost: $7.50 Not bad my friends!
