I took per week off to take pleasure in my 25 12 months wedding ceremony anniversary in Maui, however at present I’m again with an enthralling new DIY venture. Classic artwork and conventional decor has returned, and each make a house really feel cozy and welcoming.
I’ve all the time beloved botanical wallpaper so I assumed a set of the small scale papers would look so candy and distinctive if secured to frames and mats for the aim of displaying classic herb prints.
I selected Spoonflower as my supply of wallpaper and did a seek for ‘small scale botanical wallpaper’, then I browsed the patterns to slender down my picks.
On Spoonflower, you’ll be able to order a swatch of wallpaper and the corporate will ship a 24” x 12” pattern. When wallpaper was on sale just a few weeks in the past, I selected three botanical non-pasted wallpaper prints to play with.
After the three wallpaper samples arrived, I purchased three 8×10” matted flat edge frames at Michaels to border 5×7” herb artwork prints.
To recreate these wallpapered frames, you’ll want 12×24” wallpaper samples in a sample of your alternative, 8×10” frames matted for a 5×7” artwork print, scissors, a flat paintbrush, and cheesy glue.
Reduce the wallpaper samples in half so there are two 12×12” items. Reduce a 5×5” sq. inside the primary piece of wallpaper. Apply cheesy glue to the entrance of the 8×10” image body and layer wallpaper on high. Reduce angles to permit wrapping wallpaper across the within the principle image body.
Subsequent heart the mat excessive of the wallpapered body to align the sample to the mat. Apply glue to the entrance of the mat and layer the wallpaper on high. Permit it to dry, then trim edges and heart of mat so it suits inside wallpapered image body.
Layer the wallpapered mat contained in the wallpapered body then insert the glass into the again of the wallpapered image body. The piece of glass sits behind the wallpapered mat. Middle the artwork print behind the glass, then end the framing course of by including the cardboard included with the body to the again.
