Of course you could buy super expensive wallpaper, but when you can make a stencil to create a similar look for only $3.00, why?!?! I love this one! This picture was where my stencil wall inspiration came from. I love the turquoise in this one. LOVE this too! When I first started looking into recreating a wallpaper look with a stencil, I thought about using vinyl wall decals to make the look. I’d rather spend $20.00 total on the stencil and the paint instead of $75.00 or higher on the vinyl. 8750stumbleupon.
Recycling project no. 1. You know those newsprint ads that we all get in the mail? I really really really dislike it when I see those things in my mailbox. They're ugly and a waste of ink and paper. I toss them in the trash the first chance I get. For whatever reason I've been trying to come up with a way to make such an ugly thing something a little more than just garbage. I finally got an idea today after my brain started trying to solve the problem again. I cut the newsprint into thin strips and randomly glued them onto the same recycled cardstock I use for my cards. When I covered an area that I thought would be enough for the project I cut out a section to use for wall art.
Framed and pretty! I left the fringed edge to use for a card and the last two pieces could be turned into anything else but I opted for bookmarks. I'm sure the newsprint will age and the colors will change but that may make it look more interesting. Sorry for the picture quality. Inhabitat. When you take a close look at a beer can, you may notice that they have a really nice arc to them. Artist Paul Villinski has taken that same arc and turned it into butterflies in flight. Rescuing crushed beer cans from the streets of New York City, Williams carefully cuts each can and creates a marvelous fluttering array. He states that similar to the life of a butterfly, his process is representative of a cultural conversion all its own exploring “themes of transformation and recovery through metamorphosis.” + Paul Villinski + Superuse via Wunderkammer.
