Make your own wall pictures - Arts, Crafts and DIY

A quick and easy way to brighten up any room with fresh and fun artwork.

Material

1 roll of wrapping paper
1 picture frame
scissors
glue stick

Method

Remove backing from picture frame.
Cut wrapping paper to size, leaving a 2cm edge overhang.
Place paper in frame as a guide, then glue the top edge and press down firmly. I find if I always use the top as a guide it keeps things nice and straight and even.
Replace backing from picture and hang.

Notes

I have made these for each of the kids rooms and they are really unique.
I find 3 of the same artworks in a row works well and looks quite striking.
Look for wrapping paper rolls rather than the folded style as the creases will remain.
