Making wall art with what you got

I have lived in many temporary homes in my life time. As a missionary you never really unpack your bags for too long and never want to spend to much money for a place you live in for only a year or so. While in Costa Rica we lived in a tiny 4 room home and moved there with 2 check ins each and carried on what else we could on the plane. So you can imagine there was not much room in those bags for decorative things. Here are a few things I did in our home.
  • framed craft paper .39 a sheet at Michaels craft store
  • fabric stapled around a canvas or a frame made of cheap wood
  • traced silhouettes of items I loved (for children's home I traced girlie things-high heel, makeup, purses)
  • fabric taped with foam tape to the wall. if you have paint around make a boarder
