Bathroom Wall Art!

So, I am currently working on about 8 million projects trying to get things ready for my very first apartment away from home! I have bought things in my bathroom to be a sea green and coral with bright white. So I started thinking I am going to need something creative in my bathroom, and well this is what happened.

I will show you step by step what I did so that you can try it for yourself! Maybe your experience will be slightly kinder than mine.

SUPPLIES:

1: Picture Frame

2: Spray Paint (If you wish to update an old frame)

3: White Material (Course type)

4: Fabric Paint

5: Small Paint Brush

6: Painters Tape

7: Your Initials Print out

8: Razor Blade

9: Push Pins

Step 1:

Pick a frame size and either spray paint an old one (as I did), or buy a new frame. Take the glass out and wrap your material around it (Make sure you have washed and ironed your material first). Tape the back of the material up so it will not move on the glass.

Step 2:

Put your frame on top of the glass/material, Make a border with your Painters Tape. Make sure it looks even, I measured mine to be two inches on every side. My frame is a 16x20.

Step 3:

Take the Print out of your Initials and tape every part of the black that you can to the center of the material. Once you have done so, take your razor blade and cut out the black from the white. This is why you need a course type material so that there is no chance the material will cut when you are doing this step.

Step 4:

Tape up your material. I made the first line then laid a piece of tape on the edge of it so the lines were even and then made my second line. Once you get to the circle it gets a bit more complicated. My lines after the circle somehow got whop-sided and I did not realize it till after I was done. I took my razor blade and cut each edge so they would be correct. once you cut it just peel off the excess and you have a straight line.

This is the fabric paint I use.

Step 5:

Paint your picture. Be EXTREMELY careful with your paper. I dabbed the paint over the paper so the paper would not rip. I left it at this point to dry over night. (It was very late)

**NOTE: Take your material OFF your glass. The paint WILL go thru the material so make sure you have paper or whatever you don't care to throw away under your material.**

Step 6:

Take off your tape and touch up and spots with some white fabric paint. Put your glass on top, trim your excess material off the edges, and put both glass and material in frame. I added a second layer of material because mine was so thin.

Step 7:

Clean glass with windex (if needed), hang up, and  ENJOY!

Hope this helps all of you create your own! let me know how it goes :)
