Make Prints Pop


Big blank wall staring at you?  Here's a really simple and inexpensive way to spread a print or color palette throughout a room while giving that big bland wall some spice.  

Materials: (all optional)
Various picture frames
fabric in your favorite pattern
mirror 
clock 
canvas
staple gun

How to Make it Yours:
1. pick out a favorite pattern from a local fabric store.
2. grab some various frames (the ones I used came from a pile in my closet I was no longer using. I chose a couple with the same finish. 
3. here's the easy part: cut your fabric out to fit the various frames. 
4. for the canvas, simply stretch the fabric over a canvas and staple it to the back of the wooden frame with a staple gun.  Fold up the corners like wrapping a present. 
5. hang them on the wall in a pattern.
