There’s a spot in our building, down in the basement, where tenants leave things that they don’t need any more. It’s kind of like a free, in-house thrift store. It’s great. The other day, Mr. Lovely was passing by and spotted this old brown frame with a blank canvas in it. Being the super-awesome Mister that he is, he immediately saw DIY potential and snagged it. He brought it home and we made this.
It’s a super-simple project, and while we chose a stag for our shape, you can do it with any shape you like. Here’s your list of materials.
- an old frame
- muslin fabric
- black spray paint
- black acrylic paint
- sponge brush
- spray adhesive
- freezer paper
- scissors
- iron
Then just put it all together and hang it up! Depending on the type of your frame, you could also staple your fabric in — or just get a blank artist canvas from a craft store and stencil right onto that. We were just using what we found. Hooray for upcycled art! xoxo
Such a great find & cute DIY! Love the way it looks on the wall.
I love that! Heeyyyyyyy, that looks very much like the wooden frame that I used that has convex glass! I think it’s pretty. 🙂
Holy smokes. I wish I had a basement that was filled with other people’s treasures. Great find! I love what you came up with!
PS I’m going to link to this on my blog! Hope that’s ok!
Link away! Thanks for the love, Lexy!
