Do It Yourself Art For Your
|
|
No matter how hard you try, sometimes you just can’t find exactly what you want so why not add a little more of your personality to your vacation home and design your own art that will be the exact size, shape and colour you want and co-ordinate beautifully with your furnishings?
Please don’t be put off this idea because your drawing and painting talents fall well short of that of Degas, Picasso or Andy Warhol. Trust me, you wouldn't want me on your team in a game of Pictionary - you wouldn't have a clue what I was drawing!
If you can't find what you are looking for in the shops, have a look at some of our ideas for do it yourself art.
Have you decorated a room and got spare fabric left over? Have a look at our ideas for
using fabric
to create stylish and co-ordinating wall decor for any room in the house. This is particularly useful if you have decorated a bedroom and have spare bedding leftover from a bed in a bag set.
Pop into your local art supply store or shop online for artist's canvases. Use leftover
wall paint on canvas
for cheap and cheerful paintings for your vacation property. Don't worry if you aren't a talented artist - givwe it a go anyway.
Want to do something now but haven't got a canvas to hand? Paint with wall paint directly onto a wall for stunning features that are fun and easy to do - get the kids to help!
Whatever you decide to do whether it is with fabric, canvas or just paint you will be delighted when you can look at it and say, “I did that myself”.
I bet you’ll feel proud and you'll be surprised how much fun you can have with canvas, paint and a roll of masking tape!!
