Bird Theme Wall Art

Decorating the walls of of one's home can be really expensive. Even a lot of DIY ideas out there require much $$$$ to be spent on the materials! I want to decorate my home at a lower cost, so I've got some ideas. Here's one.

I was at a garage sale a few weeks ago and found these frames. They cost me $1 for all of them. Some had glass, some didn't. It didn't matter for this project if any of them did.

I lined them all up outside on a rare sunny day for painting.

I used my favorite lilac spray paint to coat all the edges.

I found some bird images online and used scrapbook paper and cardstock to create the bird images and backgrounds. I stuck with the lilac/purple theme. I used rubber cement to attach the birds to the backgrounds.

Note: For my first attempt, I used Mod Podge but that was a giant fail. Rubber cement is absolutely necessary for this project!

I just popped the pictures in the frames and cut some cardboard for the frames that were missing backs and used hot glue to keep everything together. Can't wait to move into our house so I can put them up!
