Cheap wall art, with an old frame, burlap and a paper mache letter and a little paint.
I’m still working on the walls in my office.
Several months ago I bought a few paper mache 12″ letters at Joann Fabrics for $3.99
- I spray painted my letter “S” black.
- Found this great wood frame at the resale shop for $8.
- I stapled some burlap to the back of the frame
- hung the frame on the wall over my husband’s desk.
- I then stuck a nail in the wall right thru the burlap
- and hung the letter “S” in the middle!
Perfect for now!!
My husbands first name and our last name both start with the letter “S”
I originally bought the frame with the intention of using it as a prop for photo shoots,
but for now I like it hanging here!
I think I even like the frame left gold……..but I may swipe a little white over it some time.
What do you think? Gold? or White?

I like the gold because it ties in with the colors of the books. Love the monogram too!

FYI, if you need more letters Hobby Lobby has them on sale this week for $1 I believe.
And I kinda like the gold. It blends with the items on the table.

Love the look. I, for one, am trying to get rid of every bit of gold in my house (except for my wedding rings). I love white or black.

That looks so professional and beautiful 🙂

It looks great! I like the gold, because it flows with the colors of the books. You could wash a little white over it.

Cute. I love anything with letters. I'm thinking white over gold, too.

I don't usually say this but…I like the gold! I think it goes great with those books stacked below.
And this is perfect! I have one of those letters that I spray painted black and adhered scrapbook paper to the front…which wrinkled and looked all ugly. So now I can just turn it around and use it this way!

That looks GREAT! Now I have to look for those inexpensive letters! And that frame is AWESOME! I'd leave it gold and I'm not normally a gold person, but it looks very regal there. Love the crown too. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

such a cute idea! I like the frame gold, I also think black would look good! I'm not sure about white, but then again I don't know what the rest of the room looks like..
Thanks for sharing this idea.. I love it…

What a great idea!!! I'm kind of digging the gold, too. It brings out the colors of the book spines. But, then again….the white would look good with that vase. 🙂 Cute EITHER way!
