If it hasn't been established yet...I am very cheap when it comes to certain things. I don't like spending money on something I think I can make myself (hence the couple of years of making purses). I'm not too concerned about it looking homemade...so voila...half the stuff in my house I've found a way to make it a little big cheaper.
I love pictures...specially of my kids. I love putting holes in my wall....but I don't like paying for prints and I don't like paying for frames. I will go to the extreme of getting cheap frames from yard sales and just spraypainting them. So my wall of photos was done for a very little amount of money!! If you look close you will see that isn't high end...but most people walk in and like it...and I pray they don't get too close!! ha ha I wait till there is a good sale at Joannes on Canvas...buy a couple big ones and then get crafty. I like to put canvas on canvas for that nice two dimensional look. Here is one that always gets noticed at my house. Just a little paint on the edeges, I used velcro to put the two canvass on the larger one. I've experimented quite a bit with putting pictures on the canvas and I like to just place a tad bit of mod podge in each corner and it tends to work pretty good. I had some little tin tiles that didn't have a home and before I put everything together I took a brown crayon put the tile underneath the canvas...pressed it up and then rubbed with crayon here and there to get a nice little design on the front of the canvas. It is very subtle but gives a little texture.
