Washi Tapes VS Painting

Are you scratching your head trying to find a suitable artwork for your living room or bedroom? Well, at least I am. It isn't easy to find one that is beautiful, affordable and non commercialise. It is even harder to find one that can fit in with the rest of the interior design. 

So, why not DIY one for yourself?

Material needed: 

1. Photo Frame

2. Paper

3. Colour pencils and pens

4. Washi tapes

I would like to make a painting for the guest room. The room is painted in peach and there is a polka dot curtain hanging on the window. Having this in mind, let's start the DIY session.

Step One: Select a photo frame

I selected a plain white photo frame to match with the peach wall. It looks simple and clean.


Step Two: Cut out a paper that suits the frame size

In order to match the painting with the wall and yet letting it to stand out from the frame,  I selected a brown coloured paper instead of a white one.

Step Three: Use Washi tape to create the border

I chose a colourful and vintage looking Washi Tape to brighten up the room.

Step Four: Design the content

Since I am making the painting for our (my husbands's and my) guests, so I decided to write them something, "We are pleased to welcome you to our little polka dot cottage. Be our guest"

I played around with different fonts and sizes so to make the wording looks interesting.

Step Five: Colouring

My favourite colours of this season? White, pink and turquoise!

Step Six: Framing

Frame it up, and mission accomplished!

My hubby loves it, and I hope you'd like it too. :)
