Cheap Personalized Wall Decor

Hello, my

 Lazy Friends!

This week I have a great idea for your

kids' rooms.

Sometimes it's hard to fill all of that empty space

on their walls without it looking

cluttered.

I'm not going to lie--

the older they get, the harder it is to have

any say whatsoever

about what goes on their walls!

{am I right, or am I right?}

My 8 year-old's room is

filled with

odd miss-matched things.

But, my 2 year old

couldn't care less 

about what goes on his walls!

So, while you have a say about

it, why not put something

cute,

personalized

and

CHEAP

on their walls?

Supplies you'll need:

scrapbook paper to fit the decor of your child's room

printer

scissors

glue or Mod Podge

frames

variety of fonts- you can do a google search for "free fonts"

printer paper

I love the look of changing up the

FONTS,

can you tell?

I downloaded lots of crazy cool fonts

(for free!)

and just played

around with them until

 I found what I wanted for each letter.

You certainly don't have to do that,

but I think it adds a little bit of

whimsey

to your child's room.

Then I blew the font up to 300- 400 per letter,

printed them out on regular printer paper,

  cut them out and glued them

to the scrapbook paper.

{I've never tried to just print it right on to the

scrapbook paper. That might work, but I was afraid

that the pattern of the paper would be visible

through the letters}

I'm not a perfectionist!

Rather than wasting 45 minutes to cut out

the letters absolutely perfectly

with no white showing-

I took the Lazy way!

If you have some white showing, just

take a black magic marker

and color in the mistakes.

And nobody will be the wiser.

Until you post it on

the internet for all the world to see.

Then they'll know.

I got the frames at IKEA for $5 each

(score!)

To make sure that all of your frames

are equal distances from one another, and to make sure

that you have the nail in the correct spot,

use a tape measurer and a level.

Then you can tape printer paper

on the wall to

mark the spot you want each frame to be.

Next,

measure how far down your nail hole is on your frame.

Measure that same amount off on your paper and place a dot

where each nail should go.

Place the nails where the dots are.

Rip the paper off of the wall,

hang the pics--

and you're done!

Easy and cheap wall decor

that will create a lot of

character

your child's room!

This project took a few hours to
do from start to finish.
The most time consuming part is finding
the perfect font that you want.
I broke the project up into two days,
but you could easily do this in one afternoon.

I'll be back in two weeks for more

fun ideas for your home.

Until then,

happy decorating!
