Guest Room Art

September 26, 2011 By Shannah 18 Comments

Awhile back, I was reading one of my favorite blogs and she had done some linen artwork as a ‘look for less’ post.
Her finished product was gorgeous.  I thought that something alongs those lines would be a simple solution for the artwork in our guest room.

Unfortunately, the paper that she was used was sold out.  So, I went on the hunt for other neat paper that I could for the project.  I ended up purchasing two handcut sheets from Etsy.

On one of my recent shopping trips to the fabric store, I picked up some burlap.  I chose it over linen simply because of the price tag.  The burlap was 3.99/yard and the linen was $12.99/yard.

I had Mathlete pick up two Ribba frames from Ikea in the 20 x 20 size since that is what best accomodated my paper. 

Then, I measured and marked the fabric for my frames.

Because the 20×20 frames have a floating mat, I also had to cut that down because I wanted to use its weight to keep my fabric in place.

Once I had everything cut, I used fabric glue and glued my paper down to each piece of fabric. 

I left it there to dry for awhile. I put the fabric into the frames and closed them up.

Now I just need to get Mathlete to hang them in the bedroom (along with about a million other items around the house!) and that room will be almost complete!

    Recently I read one magazine that everyone women prefer white color for entrance room. You also one of them. I really impressed with your arrangement. That linen and papercut is great.

    thanks to everyone for stopping by and leaving such great comments. I have been trying to return the love today by visiting each of you but blogger doesn’t want to cooperate with me (or maybe it is my computer). I will hope for better luck tomorrow.
