Quick wall art...

Several months back I picked up a leaflet at Michael's about making your own art for your house. (And since we're getting ready to stage our house for placing it on the market - I knew I'd want to put this to use.) They showed how you can take a styrofoam square and cover it for a quick 5-min project! Ingenious! See HERE - they used cloth napkins, I used scrapbooking pages - of course!

Since our house has been turned upside down (by contractors)... the small square I've been able to clear out is of course my stamp space! I mean, why not?! I can't do much in the rest of the house until this work is done... we can't even watch tv! So, to my happy stamp space I go! Let's work on those ideas/projects that have been sitting on the corner of my work table for months now!

This one is super easy! I took a rectangle piece of styrofoam and cut it in half so I could make two 6" x 6" squares to go above my desk. I then found some fun 12" x 12" scrapbooking paper... grabbed my scissors, exacto knife and adhesive.

I scored the paper so that there were impressions for the 6" square right in the middle. Cut off the corners so I could neatly fold the paper around the square... and adhered the layers to each other. The third image above shows the BACK of the image with a little bit of styrofoam poking through.

How I'll attach these to the wall? I have so many options. I could use nails already in place and simply puncture throught the paper. I could use sticky strip on the wall and press square against it. I could simply lean it against the wall while sitting on my desk top. So, let me think about that... run some lab tests and I'll be back. After I get these up on the wall I'll come back to show an image of how it all looks.
