Happy Friday!!! I hope that your Friday is going well. Are you looking forward to the long holiday weekend like I am?!
So I actually mentioned this DIY project
weeks ago! Oops! I don't really have a good reason why I took me so long to get this post up!
Anyway, this project is SUPER, SUPER simple! It was also a very inexpensive too! Can't go wrong with simple and inexpensive if you ask me!
So let's get started:
|WHAT YOU NEED|
-12 month calendar with nice graphics. {For this project in particular, the calendar I used had a tabbed page with a motivational phrase for each month, but you can use anything. I think black and white photographs would be really nice for this project for example!}
-12 frames. {I purchased my frames for a $1 each at the Dollar Tree}
|OF SPECIAL NOTE|
-I purchased my calendar at Walmart last year for $4!
-The frames I purchased at the Dollar Tree also came with matting, and I think the matting adds a nice touch. It makes the look more polished overall, but you certainly don't have to buy frames with matting! It's optional. ; )
-Use 3M strips to hang the frames! I LOVE me some 3M strips. I don't have time to measure and hang things with nails and all that jazz! #ainthappening 3M strips are right up my alley. You can eyeball where you want your frame to go, slap it on the wall, and if you find that you need to adjust the frames you can easily just pop the frame off the wall and try again.
|HOW TO|
{Step 1}
Simply remove the art from the calendar. Then cut off the spiraled edges.
{Step 2}
Place the art into the frame.
{Step 3}
Arrange the frames as desired. (I just arranged the frames on the floor by the wall I planned to hang them on. This step is especially important so you can get an idea of spacing.)
{Step 4}
Hang the frames on the wall.
And
voila!!! You have yourself some lovely, framed motivational wall art. I basically completed this project for $12 since I already had the calendar sitting around.
Winning!
I decided to add the frames to my side of our master bedroom, just beside my closet. The quotes add some quick inspiration whenever I feel like I need a little boost.
