That’s Pinteresting! Effortless Art

by / Wednesday, 11 July 2012 / Published in INSPIRATION STATION

For most people, including myself, picking out art can be a daunting experience. It’s difficult to pick out colors and patterns that work with your existing designs. When browsing for art, especially online, I find I always fall in love with pieces that have daunting price tags. Sometimes I look at art and think, “Why didn’t I think of that?” or “I could easily make that!”. It would be so nice if all of us were born with artistic talent!

I found a few ways, via Pinterest, that you can create effortless art for your home. These are easy DIY projects that could be completed in a snap and for a fraction of the cost of fine art.

 

Believe it or not, this is actually a framed vintage scarf. Finding a scarf to frame would be simple! There are many patterned and colored scarves out there to choose from.

 

This blogger picked up a painting at a thrift store, added lettering, and then spray painted the entire thing. Click here to for the directions to this amazing DIY.

 

Art can even be created from paint chips. These colorful paint chips were arranged in an interesting geometric pattern. It would still look great with the squares lined up in a simple row.

 

This painting looks professional to me but was actually designed and created by a blogger. Still hung up on the ombre trend? This project is for you.

 

 

I love this idea for a children’s room or play room. A child’s drawings were scanned and made smaller in Photoshop. Imagine collecting all of your kid’s cute drawings from when they were little and placing them in one space.
