Easy 10-Minute Valentine’s Day Wall Art

Here’s an easy way to decorate for Valentine’s Day or it would even be a beautiful handmade wedding gift.

And the best part is that it only takes about 10 minutes to create!

How to Make 10-Minute Easy valentine’s Day Heart Art

Here are the instructions to make this easy heart art!

Heart Art Supplies

• Square canvas (either a 10 inch canvas or a 6 inch canvas, or both!)
• paper flowers – you can use or make paper flowers, but also small silk flowers would be pretty too. Get creative!
• 2 Squares of scrapbook paper (9.5 square for the 10 inch canvas 0r 5 inches square for the 6 inch canvas)
• Glue dots
• Print out of heart template (below)
• brads – for the canvas corners (optional)

Directions to Make Heart Art

• Cut out a square of scrapbook paper
• Print off the heart template and then staple it on top of one of the scrapbook paper squares
• Cut out the paper heart using the template
• Attach the other scrapbook paper to the canvas. You can Mod Podge it or if you have a Xyron sticker machine you can run the scrapbook paper through and then attach it to the canvas that way.
• Then attach the heart to the canvas with glue dots.
• Take the paper flowers and place them on the heart, attaching them with glue dots.
• For a final finishing touch you can add sticky dot embellishments to the corners of the canvas to look like decorative nails.
• Then hang them up or arrange them on a shelf and you have instant Valentine art.

And here’s the template to make the hearts on the easy 10-minute Valentine’s Day wall art!

There are so many cute 12×12 papers in Jen’s paper line. One of my favorites is called Best Day Ever, which has cute sayings and quotes.

To start this project, I gathered up 12 clipboards. Most of the clipboards were bought at the thrift store for cheap. I painted each one with black chalkboard paint and then spray painted the silver metal clip gold. When you spray the clip part gold, make sure to cover up the rest of the clipboard with paper and painters tape. I’m loving the gold with the black chalkboard combination. Each 12×12 paper was trimmed down to be framed inside each clipboard. I also used a corner rounder paper punch to round all the corners on everything.

Here’s just one of the twelve clipboards. I love how these clipboards can be changed out easily because the photos are not under glass. You can also easily add things to it like reminders or things to remember. It’s like a big visual scrapbook always on display. Here’s one of my favorites.

Along with the fun patterned papers, I used this polaroid shaped cutting die to make polaroid frames around my photos. I printed all these photos as square photos with Persnickety Prints (love them!), then I added the cute die cut polaroid frame around the photos.

I stamped a few of them with some cute sentiments from Jen’s cute clear stamp set.

I just love how it fills the wall with positive sayings and the faces I love.

Have you embraced the clipboard wall art trend? It’s a fun one!

This project features some of my favorite trends: chalkboards, polaroids and…snacks. Well, I guess not really snacks, but we always need snacks when we’re crafting…am I right?

The post Make a DIY Clipboard Photo Display! appeared first on Tatertots and Jello.

It’s always hard to find quality ways to display family memories!

I was introduced to Personal Creations’ Puzzle of Life product, and it’s a fun addition to the kids “hangout room!”

It’s easy to select the sets and pieces, easy to put together and helps you tell your family’s story. Add and rearrange pieces as your family changes — their quality will last for many years since they’re handmade by Amish woodworkers. I thought it would be fun to display images of each of my kids and the definition of Siblings on the inside part of the puzzle. I love the way it turned out!!

I’ll show you how you can win a $100 credit for your own Puzzle of Life after the break!

I wanted to make a Puzzle of Life set that reflected the theme I’d created for this room — and I love the way it looks!

I tried to create a theme that matched the Teen/Tween hangout room’s selfie wall, and  since that decor featured a “selfie” definition, I decided to feature a similar approach with a definition of the word “sibling.” I wanted to feature the kids — since it’s their room — and the word “sibling” seemed to fit the best. I chose the elements of online definitions that best fit what I wanted to communicate. Then I decided I should feature the birth years and names of each of the kids. Notice that each puzzle piece style has a slightly different layout, which adds some visual variety. It’s not at all confusing when you order, though — it’s obvious how they all fit together and easy to choose the layout and finish you like best. (I chose these wood finishes because they match the decor — you could choose any of several attractive finishes!)

I love also that I can switch out the pictures so easily too!! I love this idea as a different way to create a family gallery wall.

Ordering was quick and easy and I was very pleasantly surprised at how quickly the puzzle pieces arrived! The wood and the finish work was also high-quality.

This would also make such a cute wedding gift. Or a gift for grandparents – showing all of their grandchildren. I love that pieces can be added on later too!!

Here’s how you could win a $100 credit to create your own Puzzle of Life!

Not only is this a great way to recycle but it’s a piece that captures a moment in time. No matter if this piece hangs in the kid’s playroom one day or stays in my office, it will always remind of the days when I sat at my daughter’s little table and colored together.

Supplies:

– 8X8 Canvas – Pencil Shavings – Glue – Black Paint – Pencil

I always find objects around the house to use as a quick stencil, and this time I used a cookie cutter to outline my star shape.

And I gathered up my pencil shavings…

… and then started to glue them onto the canvas.

Once I realized how long it was going to take do each piece individually, I eventually applied glue to the entire piece and dumped the bag on top. So much faster

After I brushed off the excess, I was left with a very fun and abstract star.

And to finish off the piece I did a quick cursive ‘create’ with black acrylic paint.

Now go save those pencil shavings and have fun making more memories with your kiddos! Happy summer Thanks for having me over today, Jen!

So fun!!!!

The post Great Ideas — 20 DIY Wall Decorating Ideas!! appeared first on Tatertots and Jello.

I love being a part of Lowes’ Creative Ideas blogger team. I love seeing what monthly themes they give us. It really lets me use my creativity. This month a couple of the themes we were given were Submerged Colors and Outdoor Wall Art. I decided to combine the two together and make some Submerged Color Wood Slad Sconces. I think they will be perfect hung on my patio once the weather warms up a bit. (it snowed here yesterday – ugh)

Via TrendBible

I headed over to Lowes for supplies. In their lumber department they have little bins of thin wood. That’s where I found the slats I used for this project. I toyed with the idea of using paint sticks or wood shims, but they didn’t seem like they would be long enough. So I picked up 10 6-inch wide wood slats, along with 4 3-inch wood slats to use as supports on the back of the pallets. And I didn’t even have to cut the length – it was perfect at 3 feet long.

Then I headed over to the paint department and picked up 5 of their sample paints in ocean colors, along with some foam brushes. And the last thing I did was I grabbed 4 of the wood-wrapped tealight candle holders I found at the front of the store. They were only $4.95 each and I thought the wood really would go well with the submerged ocean colors.

Here’s how I made the Wood Slat Wall Sconce Art: 

I wanted to make two pallets. So I bought 10 wood slats and painted them in 5 colors.

Once they were dry, I arranged them in the colors I wanted for each pallet and flipped them over.

Then I attached the smaller slats I bought to the back. One at the top of the pallet and one at the bottom. I did have to cut these with my saw. I used small finish nails to hold them in place, hammering a nail through the smaller slat into each of the boards to secure them together.

Once the pallets were constructed, I used my mouse sander and sanded the pallets. I wanted it to look very worn and beachy so I sanded a lot of the paint off.

Then I applied some stain to the whole pallet to give it an even more weathered and ocean look.

To attach the wood-wrapped tea light holders, I placed them on my pallet to see the height I wanted and marked it with pencil. Then I drilled two holes where I would attach the tea light holder to the board. I used zip ties and threaded it through one hole, through the tea light holder and back through the other hole, and tightened the zip tie at the back to secure it in place.

And voila! Now I have some pretty art which also will be so pretty on Summer evenings on my patio. I can’t wait to use them!!

Do YOU have any projects you are excited to make for Spring or Summer?

Share them with me in the comments. I would love to know!!

Have a wonderful day!

Hey there! It’s Jess and Monica from East Coast Creative and we have another super simple way to dress up your walls on the cheap!

I’m in the middle of re-doing our kid’s bathroom and for five years there hasn’t been one single piece of wall decor in that room. Now, I’m one step closer to well-dressed walls with these hanging frames!

Step 6 (optional): Use your staple gun to shoot a few staples in the corner to secure the rope.

Step 7: Fill your frame with cute pics and hang it up! I used a large knob I had to hang the frame- I love the way it looks!

 

That’s it! For under $10, I created a fun piece of wall decor for my kid’s bathroom! Can’t beat that.

 

 

What a  an awesome project!!
