Hi, My Dearest Everyday Friends…

I know you will love this project I am sharing today

by another fabulous Guest Blogger.

Please, welcome Stacey with

Addison Meadows Lane.

 

Hi there! I’m Stacey from Addison Meadows Lane.

I’ve been a follower of The Everyday Home for a

while now, and I’m so excited to be here today!

Just a little bit about me. I work full-time outside

of my home and Addison Meadows Lane is my passion

that I hope will eventually one day become my

full-time job. I have a “silent partner” LOL, that I

lovingly refer to as The Beard in most of my posts.

Without him a lot of these projects wouldn’t be possible.

I am the mother of the sweetest Pitbull in the world

named Brutus. We all three live very happily in a

messy house full of half completed projects because

I have what The Beard likes to refer to as

Project A.D.D.  This my friends makes our lives

quite interesting to say the least.

I’m so happy you all are here and I

hope you enjoy my project.

So, for your viewing pleasure on this fine day, I’ll

be sharing a super simple and easy way to dress up

any wall space with little to no money or effort.

These are my favorite kinds of projects, the ones

that require no skill whatsoever but turn out beautifully.

This tutorial can be switched up in so many ways and you

can use so many different materials.

Ok, I’ll get on with it now LOL.

DIY Wall Art

What you’ll Need:

– A Glue Gun

(“Glewbacca” is the name of my glue gun so if you see me type that,

a glue gun is what I’m referring to. )

– An Old Book

(preferably one with yellowed pages I think those look the best.)

– Scissors

– An inexpensive frame of any size

(Mine was on clearance for 3.50 at Michael’s because the glass

was broken. Which was just fine for this project.)

– Old serving spoons

(I got mine from a garage sale for .10)

– A Glue Stick

This is literally the easiest thing I’ve ever done,

but surprisingly one of the things in my house I get

the most compliments on. Funny how that works.

Remove the cardboard backing of the picture frame,

and take out the fake family or generic scenery

picture, discard.

Rip out about six or seven pages from your

old-yellowy book. How many you rip out depends

totally on the size of your picture frame and your

book. Once you’ve ripped those out start gluing

the pages on to the cardboard the picture frame

came with, In any pattern you choose.

Then take your serving spoons and using your

Glewbacca put glue on each end of the serving

spoon then press down to the background you

just created with your book pages.

For the sweet little rosettes on the corner of the frame

I followed this tutorial here.

Let everything dry for at least an hour before

attempting to hang, I mention this because if

you’re anything like me you’ll hang it right away

it looks good for about 2 seconds then everything

falls off.

That’s it! So easy right? I hope you all enjoyed

my little tutorial and if you’d like to see more

from Addison Meadows Lane here are a few other

projects I think you’ll like.
