layered diy art

While doing a little guest room prep this weekend (woohoo for friends coming to stay), I decided the guest bathroom needed a little something to pep it up. That being said, guest bathroom artwork is not at the top of our very long wish-list for home purchases, so I got a little crafty.

In borderline-hoarder style I had held on to this tissue paper from a gift for quite a while. I wasn't sure what I'd do with it, but couldn't bear to part with the little birdies. Luckily we had an unused, random frame to fill. I used three layers of tissue paper, slightly shifting each (and flipping the middle layer backwards) simply wrapping a piece of cardboard, taping each piece in the back...

and voila! Cheers up the little bathroom and hides about 42 nail holes. Seriously you'd think the previous homeowners just ran around with a hammer and nail playing... some game that involves those things and lots of holes in the wall. If you know that game, I don't want to play.

What's that? The wall behind the frame looks like painted, wrinkled wallpaper? Oh don't be silly. It's our house. Of course it is.
