Want a simple and easy way to create a custom piece of art to dress up your apartment walls? You can make a beautiful three-piece art series with just a few materials and have it look as beautiful as the image shown here!
The materials you’ll need would be wallpaper in your chosen design, scissors, tape and three frames. To keep a consistent look you can purchase three of the same frames, or to mix it up and create more of a visual interest purchase three very different frames (colors, metals, etc.).
First open up the frame, inside will be the photo paper that all frames come with to illustrate the size. Use that paper as a template for how much to cut out of your decorated wallpaper. Trace the photo paper on the inside of your decorated wallpaper with a pencil (allowing you to erase any unnecessary marks). Then cut out the traced area. Repeat that step for all three frames, working right after one another to continue the pattern.
After you’ve gotten all your decorated wallpaper cut out, place the respective pieces in their frames. Arrange, in order of the pattern, on your wall. Play with layouts to see which you like best; remembering that you can adjust heights to also add visual interest.
And there you have it, an easy and inexpensive ‘do-it-yourself’ project to add custom art to your apartment. Give it a try and send us photos! We’d love to see your craftiness on display.
