Looking for Frugal Wall Decorations?

RE: Looking for Frugal Wall Decorations? Post By Crucie (Guest Post) (08/01/2007) I bought a set of Cd Clearpockets and they turned out be a pretty neat decorative idea. My pic shows them hanging on the wall next to my computer where I mostly listen to my CDs. I bought them online from a company in Georgia at www.CDshowplace.com.

Anyhow what you do is find the print you like. Then get a craft canvas. Take spray adhesive and spray it on the painters canvas and smooth the print on. Then take acrylic paint and paint the edges to match the picture. Then take polyurethane and cover the picture. This makes a cheap print look like one that was purchased for hundreds of dollars at a gallery for a fraction of the cost. RE: Looking for Frugal Wall Decorations?

Post by skbeal (73) | (03/29/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact Trading Spaces had a segment where they redecorated a kitchen and used wine bottle labels all over the kitchen walls, to give the effect of wall paper. When it was finished, it had a rather neat graphic look, but I thought it was kind of dark and busy for a kitchen! A friend of my family's travels a lot, and saves things like menus from restaurants they go to, and she frames them and puts them up in her kitchen. That looks quite neat! I have also heard of people using post cards, and mounting them on some sort of board. You can also pay to have sentimental pictures blown up and use them for wall decorations, but then you are venturing into more expensive territory. RE: Looking for Frugal Wall Decorations?

It kind of helps if you like classic rock..or the older stuff from the 60's- 80's.
