Moving on... I am always trying to find an inexpensive way to create large scale art. Though I would love to purchase some great art, it's just ain't gonna happen any time soon, know what I'm sayin'? So, instead, I have to get creative, and lucky me, I have an awesome father-in-law that is willing to frame stuff for me. Like towels. That's right, towels. I bought two of these towels from H&M Home. The towels were attached to masonite using spray adhesive, then the frames were made to size. I stained and sanded the frames, popped the towels/masonite in, and nailed it all into place. (Ok, the only thing I did was stain and sand, but I found the towels and had the idea. Plus, I kept Jeremy company while he nailed everything together and hung them up. That counts for something, right?) The most important part is that I love them, and they only cost about $70 total, which is a great price for something this big. And awesome.

These are awesome! I, too, am always looking for inexpensive, large scale art, we have super high ceilings and anything of normal scale looks ridiculously small...this is great, thanks for the idea!

ReplyDeleteI thought that it was chalkboard art before I clicked on your link (from Fluster Buster linky) so when I realized I was looking at framed towels I just about giggled out loud! So cool. I suppose you could do the same with tea towels/ napkins etc. If you have some spare time and want to visit, you can find me over at www.ritewhileucan.com
