Our adventures continue with this DIY Art Project…

Wall Art for Less Than $10!!

Art done right..I love finding these little DIY projects that we all can appreciate! Surfing the internet on FB. I came across this article from Popsugar.com. I just had to pass it along! Enjoy!!!

I took a photo to Staples and had them print it out as a 36-by-48-inch Engineering Print ($8).

  Using two 20-by-30-inch foam boards from Jo-Ann ($1 each), I figured out where I wanted to “split” my photo.

I cut my photo into two photos, with a one-inch border to fold around the foam boards.

I angled the corners and wrapped the photos around the boards. I used double-sided tape to secure the photos onto the foam boards.

Perfect (and cheap!) wall art!
