9 budget friendly solutions for bare walls

Our first home had nothing on the walls, largely because the budget didn’t allow for it.   I have since learned that art doesn’t have to break the bank.  Today, I’ll share some tips I’ve learned along the way for creating DIY art at little or no cost.

~Get the Pottery Barn look by taking photographs of everyday images and include them in a gallery wall with framed family pictures.

~Take advantage of free online resources such as The Graphics Fairy and Wordle.net

~Frame your child’s drawings or art projects for instant art.

~Do you have a map that you’re not using anymore?  Cut it up and display it as a collage.

~Repurpose a pallet and display above the mantel, create wall shelves or consider the endless possibilities.

~Create your own chalkboard for functional art.

~Shop online classifieds for bargains.  This beautiful autumn setting was mine for just $3

~Use objects such as plates or baskets to fill in blank wall space.

~Salvage an unused frame or picture and repurpose it.

Until next time,
