Isn’t this the sweetest? A little faux floral daisy frame for your favourite piece of art. Or for a free printable like I used here. Nothing to it!
This was part of my #12MonthsofDIY monthly blogger challenge with 11 of my talented blogger friends. I was inspired by a few mini daisy bushes I received from Afloral.com. They’re an online supplier of gorgeous faux flowers and other goodies, who deliver right to your door. These daisy bushes were pretty inexpensive – just the thing I needed to give new life to an old print I wasn’t using.
Here’s what I started with:
This is a print I received a while back that just didn’t find a place in my home. I’m trying to declutter and simplify things around here and so I decide to repurpose it. I knew if I sweetened it up a little, it would find the perfect home on the little art wall in my daughter’s new dorm room. It’s an easy, low-budget transformation that you can use, too. I’m sure you have something lying around that would benefit from a layer of daisies ;).
I gave the frame a coat of white spray paint, so the black wouldn’t show through. And then I cut the green backings from the daisies and used a glue gun to attach them to the frame. Done and done!
Here’s a little DIY art secret. This Chanel print was a free printable I downloaded online. I had it printed as a photo enlargement at Costco for about $2. I could have probably printed it myself on art paper in my printer, but I liked the glossy finish. You can often find printables online. My favourite source is chicfetti.com, with a huge library of printables that are free as long as you give them some social media love in return. It’s a great deal!
Don’t forget, you can join in with a project of your own. We want to see your #fauxfloral DIY projects for this #12MonthsofDIY challenge! Our favourite DIY will be featured on all 12 of our Instagram accounts on September 30th.
