easy peasy and cheap decor
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010It’s been a while since I made anything, so I decided to make a few things last night.
I haven’t had much of a chance to unpack since the move, and thus, not much of a chance to decorate. I bought some vintage (or at least used) frames from Salvation Army for 99 cents a while back and they’ve just been sitting around waiting for me to do something crafty with them.
So I did.
Nothing super exciting.
I rummaged through my fabric that I’ve been hoarding and found a really cute print from Echino that pretty much matches my bedroom decor perfectly. 10 minutes later, I had a cute framed print.
Easy.
All you need is a frame, a piece of fabric and some masking tape. Cut the fabric about a half inch bigger than the opening of the middle of the frame. Take masking tape and adhere the edges so the fabric is taut. Ta. Da.
As you can see by the back of my frame, I didn’t really measure anything. Seriously. It doesn’t get easier than this. Just make sure you’ve ironed your fabric.
Ta da! If you want to get super fancy and put a piece like this to use, you could use a more permanent adhesive (like hot or super glue) and hang earrings and use stick pins to hang necklaces. But I like this, because I can easily change out the fabric and I can even use the piece of fabric for something else if I choose.
Here it is in my bedroom. Totally cute!
So, enter, easy peasy camera/iPod cozies.
