The internet is full of creative inspiration for your home decor. Don't worry if you don't find exactly what you want or in the colors you need. It's INSPIRATION. ;) Find the "idea" and customize it.
I was looking for cute, whimsical wall art for my kitchen. Time to check "pinterest!" (I love pinterest!! It is more addicting than facebook.) I found the cute and whimsical wall art inspiration I wanted! Then it was time to customize it for my kitchen. My kitchen/living room style is sophisticated farmhouse and my color scheme is black, white and green with yellow & red accents.
How To:
I found a wooden 8 x 10 frame at a yard sale for $0.50! Bargain! Then I found the perfect fabric. I bought 1/2 a yard for $3.50. (There is enough fabric left for another project.)
I bought a bundle of silverware remnants at the thrift store for $2.99. I made sure it had, at least, a fork, knife and spoon. The extras I will use to make more kitchen art for gifts.
Next, I had to decide what color I wanted the utensils to be. I wasn't about to experiment on the real stuff, even if it was from the thrift store. So I used a plastic fork and spoon for a sample. I spray painted one yellow and one red. I liked the contrast of the bold red. WINNER!
Cut down your fabric. Don't cut it too small. Use hand stapler and craft spray glue to attach fabric. Hot glue your spray painted utensils onto front of fabric.
That's it! Just hang and smile! :)
Do-It-Yourself projects are the best way to go. You can customize it to fit your personal taste and, most of the time, it will be one-of-a-kind. But don't worry if someone decides to copy it for themselves...that shows how much they really liked it!!
