DIY Framed Fabric Decor

wedding_header

I love decorating! But I also love decorating with a budget in mind. When I first moved into my rental home 1.5 years ago, I went from decorating one bedroom at my parents house to 7+ rooms! That is a LOT of space to cover! I didn’t want to spend everything I had in my checking account to make a room look polished. I decided to do a series of projects to fill the space with a budget.

When it came to my bathroom, I needed something that was approachable when I first walk in. Obviously, it’s a bathroom and doesn’t need to be done up too much. 😉 Typically I wouldn’t worry about this space but with this one particular wall highly visible to anyone who walked upstairs, I wanted to find a design. The wall called for something narrow to fit the space proportionally so instead of hunting down a narrow painting, I thought this might be a better solution! I bought eight dark blue 4×6 frames from Target and quilt blocks from JoAnn’s! I spent less than $20 on this project. 🙂 I brought home the supplies, cut the fabric into 4×6 rectangles and placed them strategically to balance out the space. I used Command Strips to hang these frames which are SO great for rental homes!!! Plus, there is a little flexibility if I accidentally placed something a smidge off. 🙂

Here’s the turn out! Superrrrrr easy and affordable!
