DIY Instant Wall Art- 2

Hello and welcome to view my Instant Wall Art-2....

I call it so because a few days back, I uploaded a post on Instant Wall art- Shoebox Lid Upcycling.....You can see the post by clicking here.

I made this wall art in a similar fashion using a shoe box lid and a scrapbook paper.

Instant Wall Art- Shoe box Lid Upcycling

This is the shoe box Lid I used for this wall art....

This wall art is little different by accident!!! Funny Story :)....

Let me tell you.....

The scrapbook paper comes in a specific size and it fit my earlier shoebox lid perfectly....

However, this lid belonged to my beloved hubby's shoebox......it was a huge box!!!

It had to be....These were the shoes!!!!

So imagine my despair when the paper kept falling short from all sides......

After racking my brains for quite some time, I still couldn't make it fit.....I thought of using two pieces of scrapbook paper, but I wasn't feeling very happy about the idea...... But, I was not ready to give up.....

And then, out of nowhere an idea struck!!!

I decided to give the frame a boxed look.....( a box for a box....lol)......

I cut the paper in a way that it fit on the box, leaving an uniform border all around.....

Then I painted the border with black color.......

See how it looks here......

When the color dried completely, I glued the paper on to the box lid........

It turned out like this!!!

Here's how it looks on the wall :)

The black border gives it a look of certain depth, which is what I like about this wall art....

The beauty of this wall art is in its uniform design.....which gives me the flexibility to hang it any way I like.....It looks good horizontally, and equally good vertically!!! Ain't that awesome???It is, right???

I used scrapbook paper here, but you can use any gift wrapping paper with a uniform design too!!!
Hope you liked this......

Blog Makeover

Hi....

I have changed......

I had an overnight makeover and I am more dynamic now.....
I guess the 12/12/12 fever caught on me too.....
As you know, this is the last time we are seeing this date!!!
So, Whats changed about me???
You can now 'like' or 'tweet' each post now.....
The 'followers' , 'page views' and other columns have compactly sneaked to
the right of the post and they slide out when you move your cursor there.....
The comment box is now more friendly too.
And, you know what? You can even change the way you view 
me now, by clicking on the 'Sidebar' (left upper corner) and changing it 
to any other view that you like e.g.. mosaic, magazine etc.
Have fun exploring the beauty of my posts through these views.

Hope you like my new look....

Let me know what you think of it....

DIY Instant Wall Art- Shoe Box Lid Upcycling

Hi....

Good to see you.....

This is an Instant Wall Art that I made......

They say, "Necessity is the mother of Invention".....

Wow, thats so true!!!!

I had guests coming over to our house in which we moved recently.....

So, my house isn't done sprucing up (read putting artwork) yet :)

And, I did not have time to go buy any.....so I made this!!!!!

This wall art is made from an old shoebox lid, I had lying around....

So, its a shoe box upcycling of sorts!!!

Here's what I did....

I dusted up the cardboard box lid and then cut a scrapbook paper according to the box's 

dimensions.....

The picture shows the paper cut to size....

Then I glued the paper to the box using regular PVA glue......

I had to take care to align the edges properly......

I let the lid dry for around 30 minutes.......

After the paper dried, I colored the edges of the lid black......

The black color gives the lid a solid framed look.....

You can see it for yourself here......
