      DIY Bedroom Decor - Tana Smith

      CHAPTER 1

      WALL ART

      One of the simplest ways to dress up your room is by adding lots of fun and trendy decorations to your walls. It’s so much fun to decorate, and what could be better than dressing up your walls with stuff that you have made yourself? Wall art is the bread and butter of room decoration, and you don’t have to settle for store-bought items that everyone else already has. In this chapter, you will find ideas for dressing up your walls with unique décor that includes everything from a Framed Fabric Bulletin Board to a Marquee Sign to an Ombré Painted Canvas. Everything you’ll learn how to make in this chapter is super affordable, so you won’t be limited in what you can create. Pick a few projects, five, or even more! Once you get on a roll, you won’t want to stop. With these awesome wall art projects, you’ll be on your way to having that super-cool room you’ve always dreamed of!

      Gold Foil Prints

      Prints can be so expensive, but making your own is half the cost and twice the fun! For your print, think about using the first letter of your name, a perfume bottle, or even a yummy cupcake. Anything goes! You can freehand your own design, or create your own stencil by printing cool images from the Internet. Just add the word silhouette at the end of your Internet searches to ensure your print comes out looking fabulously clear every time. The Gold Foil Prints will look great hanging on that boring wall above your bed, or propped up on your nightstand. The gold pop is exactly what you need to make your room look chic and super fun.

      Materials

      Shape silhouette printed on 8 × 10 printer paper

      Utility knife (such as an X-Acto)

      1 (8 × 10) photo frame

      3 (11 × 14) sheets card stock or posterboard

      Gold gilding paint

      1 (1") sponge brush

      Use your utility knife to cut along the outside border of the black shape you printed, to create a stencil. Do this for as many prints as you want to make.

      Using the cardboard insert from your photo frame as a guide, cut your card stock with the utility knife so it fits into your picture frame.

      Center the stencil over the card stock and use the sponge brush to apply the gilding paint. Begin by pressing the sides of the stencil down as you paint inward along the edges in small sections, to make sure that no paint gets underneath the stencil. Then, once you have the gold outline, fill in the rest of the space inside the shape with the paint to complete the design.

      When the gilding paint is dry (check the recommended drying time on the bottle), remove the stencil and place the print into the frame. Then put the frame back together and display it in your room.

      Frame Wall

      Frame walls look best when you use frames of different sizes, shapes, and colors, so don’t be afraid to step out of the box with this DIY project. There is no wrong way to do this! You can make this project super personal by printing out all of your favorite pictures and popping them into frames. Or, if you don’t want to use photos, this project works great with scrapbook paper or magazine cutouts. This is such an easy way to turn the things you love into art for your room. The possibilities really are endless!

      Materials

      4 or more assorted photo frames, different shapes and colors

      4 or more printed pictures/scrapbook paper/magazine cutouts/printed quotes (1 per frame, sized for the frame it will go in)

      Scissors

      4 or more nails or pushpins (optional)

      Take the picture frames you’ve chosen to use for this project and arrange them into a cluster on the floor. Feel free to rearrange and mix them up until you have a pattern you like. An easy way to figure out how to arrange your frames is to start by lining your frames up into equal two rows. Then, adjust two of the frames so they are slightly off center. Using frames of different shapes and sizes makes your frame wall fun to look at. You can even position half of the frames vertically and the other half horizontally.

      Take your printed photos and decide which frames you want to put them in. Then, one at a time, open up your picture frame and cut your printed photo to fit, using the cardboard photo insert that comes with the frame as your guide.

      Once your picture is the correct size, place it in the corresponding frame. Repeat for the other pictures and frames. Finally, hang each frame one at a time using nails or pushpins and the hanging hooks on the back of each frame if desired, transferring the layout you created on your floor onto the wall.

      Framed Fabric Bulletin Board

      Bulletin boards are an essential for any girl’s desk. They’re awesome for displaying A+ grades, love notes from your crush, or reminding you about Friday night FroYo with the girls. But why settle for a generic corkboard when you can make something that’s totally your own? Have fun picking adorable fabric to match your room décor for the ultimate personal
