Need a cheap way to decorate?

Hey, everyone!  This is Ann M. I have a tutorial here that is super cheap, and it's a great way to fill the empty wall in your house that has been bugging you lately.  If you’re anything like me, you’re on a budget, especially right after a move.  I was so sick of looking at boring white walls, and I definitely did not want to paint and then be obligated to repaint the walls before I move out again.  That's just too much!  So... I happen to have an old, dusty mirror that was passed down to me from my great grandmother, and I was dying to incorporate it into my décor, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. It didn't go with what I pictured my wall to be. Then... I had a stroke of genius. 

Supplies needed for this project include: old picture frames (and in my case the mirror I used for the center piece), spray paint, a sponge, and scrapbook paper.

1. Take the old frames (and the mirror) and paint them all one color. 

I chose a color that popped like yellow because again white is boring. For the mirror, I sponge painted it in order to keep some of the antique charm that it has.

2.  Cut out scrapbook paper to fit into the frames.

It's a good idea to do this while the paint is drying.

3. Once the frames are dry, put the scrapbook paper inside of them.

In my case, I left the glass out of the frames.

4.  Arrange the finished frames and/or mirror and hang them on the wall!  (I used command strips to hang everything. It keeps you from having holes in your wall)

I mapped out how everything would go on the wall so it was aesthetically pleasing to look at, and I am very happy with the finished product!   The final cost of the project was about $10!!!!! Now that’s what I call budget friendly!!!!!!
