As I was walking through Walmart, I came across paint samples. My eyes lit up and of course my friend gave me a weird look, she doesn't understand. Anyway, I picked up a bunch of colors and convinced myself it was going to be worth it. In the end it was! I have been searching through Pinterest for Moroccan inspired living rooms and some how this project started.
First take a look at the before...
I have been living here for almost a year so there is no excuse why I have empty frames throughout my apartment.
After...
This doesn't complete my room but I love the addition.
What you will need:
- frame (mine is from Ikea)
- paint chips
- stencil
- watercolors
- watercolor paper (thick paper)
- glue
- scissors
And so the process begins...
I traced this stencil onto an index card straight from my laptop screen. I used the smallest shape, you know the one inside the black one. Stencil
HERE! Found her DIY on Pinterest. Her project came out amazing! Check it out!
I traced the design on the backs of the paint chips. I found out a little too late in the game that tracing with a pen was much quicker.
Just fitting it to the frame to make sure I had enough.
I blended the yellows and oranges.
After the paint dried, I traced the white frame that came in the picture frame and then cut my paper to size. You can also use the back piece of the frame.
I like the first arrangement better, oh well.
GLUED AND FRAMED! Tada!
You can totally jazz it up by using it as a background for pictures or adding a quote on the glass. I haven't decided what to do with it yet.
Adios! Hope you enjoyed this pictorial!
There might be a recipe coming soon. Stay tuned.
