What is the name of your project?
Almost Instant DIY Artwork (for the nursery)
What inspired you to create this project?
I found this really cute wrapping paper at the grocery store and thought it would be great as framed art! Lucky for me I had an old frame just waiting for a project!
Please share with us step by step, detailed instructions.
The wooden frame was a cast-off from someone else and contained a very uninteresting poster. I opened up the frame from the back, and removed the poster which had been mounted to the bristol board (it was old enough that the poster peeled right off). I then cut a piece of wrapping paper about 2 inches smaller all around than the size of the frame opening, attached the wrapping paper to the bristol board with a few pieces of double-sided tape (a glue stick would work too), reinserted it into the frame and voila!
An even easier version of this project would be to use a frame with a pre-cut matte,such that you don’t have to worry about an exact cutting job — the matte covers the edges! Or simply cut a piece of wrapping paper to fit within the entire size of the frame with no border. And if you don’t have any frames on hand, so simply and neatly wrap a piece of your cute wrapping paper around a rectangle or square of cardboard, attach a ribbon and hang.

A simple but effective nursery design project
