MYO Art

This morning, I put together some wall art for my master bedroom redo using items I already had around the house.  Below is a picture I took last month for my Ready Set Vignette party.  I was liking the look of the empty frame with the sea star, but I wanted to use some pieces of fabric that I had originally purchased for throw pillows (but decided I didn’t like). 
I simply wrapped fabric around the frame and glued it into place with hot glue and ta-da!  Art!
For those who like visuals, here you go.  I pulled the fabric tight around all the edges and cut it down to size.
Then, I just used a bead of glue around the perimeter of the frame and smoothed the fabric as I glued.  Place the back on your frame, glue some things on the front, and you are done!
This guy was looking a bit boring and lonely….

…so I added a little burlap “matting”…

…and then some buttons to finish off the look.

For this one, I used rocks in the corners, a stick from outside, some twiggy things which came from inside one of my nests, and a bird that came in a flower arrangement after my dad passed away.
These are real marble eggs that I found on clearance for $1 each after Easter at the Cracker Barrel of all places.  I used a ginormous blob of glue on each egg to secure it in place.  Then, I wrapped some jute rope around them to make a little nest.  This one is actually my favorite.
Aren’t they cute?  And since I already had everything, they didn’t cost me anything extra!  

Here is what was on my wall before (more DIY art):

And after:

I love it!

  37. Oh my heck, I love that 3-D art. I can think of so many other things you could use and do the same way. Love that idea. So creative. My favorite is the starfish. Think of things you brought home from a trip or something. The possibilities are endless. You are so creative.

  38. You can't help yourself, can you? You just HAVE to put together cute, adorable, artistic stuff that is just laying around your house. 😉 I can only imagine what you'd find to work with around the Frat House. Tee hee. I love it all!

  39. The new frames look great, very creative and I love all the different items from nature you used.

  40. I love it too! I wish I could be half as creative. But I can copy really good.

  47. Super cute!! I'm planning to do something with empty frames above my Bed. Haven't quite found the time to paint all of the frames yet. Great idea to add the fabric!!

  53. Very pretty! The eggs and nest are my favorite too, but I like them all. I'm going to have to do something like this somewhere in my house.

  55. Adore the new look beth, its just darling. All the pieces you used to create it, and the colors. WAY TO GO!
