Hello and happy Monday!
When it comes to wall art I really like to make my own because (a) it’s cheap, and (b) it can be customized to look exactly how I want it to.
I usually create my images on Canva.com and then transfer it by creating an indentation with a pen and fill it in with sharpie or paint like I did for my DIY Farmers Market Sign.
But some designs are way too intricate for this method. When I made my art for our recent master bathroom makeover I ended up just printing it on some vellum paper and sticking in a floating frame.
- Printed Image
- Wood
- Tacky Adhesive Spray
- Utility Knife
- Sandpaper
- Mod Podge Matte Finish
- Chip brush
- Old credit card
- Acrylic paint
I began with a scrap piece of 1×6.
I then printed out my design on some plain white computer paper and centered it before folding the edges to make it easier to place later.
Pictures seriously don’t do it justice and I still can’t believe how such an easy and quick trick can look so realistic.
I also think it would look cool with some stained 1x2s framing it.
I’ll be back on Thursday to share my most recent curbside flip for this month’s Thrift Store Décor Upcycle Challenge with some of my favorite talented bloggers. See you then! 🙂

Hello, I'm also wondering what color acrylic paint you used.. It looks grey, but it's hard to tell. It looks great!

Did you just print on regular 8.5"x 11" paper? I guess if I wanted something larger I could have it printed elsewhere…
