Quick and Fun Wall Art

I seem to have issues bypassing the scrapbook paper section in the craft store.  There are so many I like, but I have nothing to do with them.  So, I came up with a way to use them in my kids rooms.  This is an easy project that kiddos can help you with.  It can match any color or decor scheme, and it makes a big impact for less than 5 bucks in supplies!

 

Supplies:  Scrapbook paper – 3+ different patterns

Circle Punch (1″)

Poster Board

Large Frame – I used a cheap frame from IKEA

Tape Rollers – I like these Tombow rollers

1. Cut your poster board to fit your frame.
2. You can sketch out your design, but I used this technique since I’m not exactly good at drawing.  I traced over the design onto the poster board using a ball point pen to create an indentation.
3. Punch out circles from the scrapbook paper, then begin filling in your design, overlapping the circles.  I added them randomly and worked on a section at a time.  I stepped back periodically to make sure they looked random.
4. I taped each circle down with the tape roller, then moved onto the next section.
5. Frame and hang!
