6/50 - Wall Art

I got my order from naokosstoop and promptly got to work to get it on my walls.
While the big print was still on its way I checked her shop to make sure I would get the right size frame.
On Monday I asked mom to go to goodwill with me and found a nice simple frame that was marked for the right color to be 1/2 off!

The big one ended up being $1.99
and small ones were $0.99 each (two were 1/2 off from $1.99)

On Tuesday I used my Dremel to sand off the finish on the large frame

Then I went to WalMart and picked up a can of black spray paint for $0.96!

Oh, I also received the large print in the mail on Tues!

I am really trying to be frugal with anything I'm crafting and was concerned about the cost of a mat for the larger print (and knew I could figure something out for the small ones)
Then I remembered I had red wrapping paper I bought from Ikea a year ago so I figured 'wouldn't hurt to try!'

So after some Xactoing and lots of measuring I finished and now have wall art!

I apologize for all the reflection!

My clock used to be on that wall so...
BONUS PROJECT!

I had to find a new home for the clock so I thought Jack could keep it company. Then realized... it looks GREAT there!
