Does everyone keep their old children's books, or is that just me? I still love all of my picture books and every few years I like to go through them and just let myself drown in a wave of nostalgia. I've always wanted to do this DIY project and decorate my room with my favourite illustrations and now I've finally mustered up the energy to do another of my patented (So Easy It Shouldn't Even Count As) DIY Projects!
First, find a page from a book that you really like. I chose this page from a Princess & The Pea book that I have, because I really like the detail and all the different fabric patterns.
Get a frame around the same size as your torn/cut out page (or vice versa, if you already have a frame). I bought this cheapo one from Ikea, the haven of cheap household shit.
If your picture is too big, cut it down to size. Alternatively, if it's too small, you can overlay some card or paper to make it fit into your frame.
Then put it all together and let the whimsical times begin! Don't forget to display it next to your lewd lamp (penis switch, tee hee) for extra juxtaposition.
That is such a nice image to choose! I love it! And what a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteHey this is a good idea! I quite like the picture you chose. Too bad I've got noo idea where all my picturebooks ended up.
