Got a big expanse of wall to fill? Here is a great idea for wall art on the cheap. She took 12 by 12 scrapbook paper and mounted sheets of it onto styrofoam. The sides are painted black. Stunning. Likely less than ten bucks for a 6foot square wall covering. With the wide assortment of scrapbook paper style there is surely one to fit every decor.
You can do the same with large cardboard letters readily available at craft stores. Our local Joann Fabrics has several sizes and styles for under $3 each. I would like to pick some up to paint in a metallic finish to imitate the pricey galvanized letters at Anthropologie.
I love the scrapbook paper idea! Now if only I had a wall to fill. 🙂
Very cool – thanks for the tip!
Scrapbooking centers are dangerous for me… I don’t even scrapbook, but the amazing variety of beautiful colors and patterns of paper (and cut-outs and stickers and froofra) is irresistible! I love this idea!
