BOLD wall art for next to nothing

A few years back I found an awesome vintage frame at the flea market. For a while a had a Paris chic painting framed in it for my daughter's room. We recently changed the theme, so no longer needed the picture in there anymore.

I wanted to do something new for no cost. I had some leftover pieces of Amy Butler fabric. I love the print and the colors are beyond vibrant. The best color I could think of for the frame was orange. I simply stapled the fabric to the back of the frame after painting and distressing it.

You too can do this with any frame and fabric. Check thrift stores to find frames for a couple of dollars. Instead of fabric, you can utilize sheets, pillow cases, shower curtains, table cloths, etc. For example, I used an old shower curtain to cover a chair seat before. That can be seen HERE.

So for next to nothing, you can have unique wall art that makes a statement....
