If you like free, pretty, and colorful, you are going to like this week’s Insta-Style.
What’s Insta-Style? A weekend series of simple projects for which no tutorial is needed.
You may not own the same items I show in the series of posts, but I am hoping that the ideas will inspire you to look at everything around you with new eyes and ask yourself…”what if?” to come up with your own Insta-Style decorating ideas.
What can you make with a picture frame and a magazine?
Free art!
Simply cut out an inspiring image from a magazine…
…and frame it.
If you love the fashion image I cut out from Artful Blogging magazine, you can find out more about the artist, Beth Briggs on her website, here.
In my dining room, I have framed menus from some of my favorite restaurants.
Hi Marnette – That is a great idea and I bet brings back memories of fond dining experiences.
Diane, I’m a 60-something homeowner with a professional career, but I wasn’t always those two things – once I was a living-in-poverty stay-at-home mom. Over the years, I have framed magazine pages, calendar pages, greeting cards, pretty scraps of textiles, etc, and hung quilts on big blank walls. Of course I did this because I was too poor to buy art, but it’s a great idea for anyone. I hope I won’t come across as judgmental, but I’m kind of amazed that people have to be told they can do this! I guess my limited resources forced me to be resourceful, because I’m not really all that naturally creative.
Diane, I love that magazine article image. I have never thought about framing a magazine page as artwork. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Saturday, Diane.
While I don’t believe I’ve ever framed artwork from a magazine, I do have several greeting cards that I have framed. That’s also insta-style!
I do the same thing with greeting cards. They are also an inexpensive way to change it up every now and again.
