A couple of months ago I posted about my plans for wall art in the nursery. I've been meaning to post about this one for a while. It's one of my favorites AND I made for less than $2.
Yep. I said TWO dollars. I really wish I'd taken pictures throughout the process, but it just really didn't take that long or involve that many steps.
I picked the frame up off my mom's driveway several years ago. It's been waiting for me to put something in the middle ever since. My mom painted it with ASCP in Provence while she was here for Hibbs House Project Week back in March. That paint is super expensive, but it didn't take much. I'm figuring a dollar and I'm sure that's high.
I bought the cardboard letters at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off. The whole alphabet was originally $4.99, so I got it for $2.50 and I only used 5 of the 26 letters, $0.48.
I glued a fancy sheet of polka dot scrapbooking paper I got for a quarter at a second hand store (it was a leftover from the Dream Dollhouse) to them. Then I remembered I should take a picture, a blurry one with my phone.
I wasn't sure what kind of ribbon to hang them from. Thank goodness for picture messages to my mom.
She was totally right about the yellow.
I hung the letters from the frame's wire with about two yards of ribbon I bought at Wal-Mart. Ten yards for $0.48. Let's call it 10 cents.
Total Cost: 1.00+0.48+0.25+0.10 = $1.77
Super easy. Super cheap. Super cute.
I really like it next to the piece I got from my sister for Christmas. :)
This is so cute Amber! I love cheap (but not cheap looking ;) art like this and the colors are really sweet. Norie must have a pretty cool looking room by now!
ReplyDeleteIt's getting there. Maybe I'll do a final reveal for her first birthday. Argh. :)
