This morning, I have a teeny tiny case of the Mondays. So I thought I would share a recent DIY that I created for my office makeover (which I’ll be sharing in full later this month) to get myself motivated for the week. Along with anyone else who is feeling the struggle this morning.
Make your own inspirational wall art, like my ‘Keep Going’ piece, with some decorative paper (I found mine at Paper Source), a yard stick, and alphabet stickers.
How To:
1. Decide on the phrase you want to use and find the center (length and width wise) of a piece of decorative paper, with a yard stick. This will help ensure that the phrase in centered when finished.
2. Remove the stickers and place them onto the decorative paper. I found that placing the middle letters of each word first made it easier to keep everything centered.
3. Once finished, frame and hang. Easy as that!
Need any ideas for phrases to use for your own art piece? Check out my saying and quotes inboard for some inspiration.
