I have a thing for paint by numbers, and this one in particular really caught my eye because I loved the colors. My hub is anti floral fabric prints, so floral art is a way for me to get my floral-loving-girl on without him pitching a fit. I wanted to use this piece in my kitchen coffee station area, but it was on the small side. Back in the summer I picked up this 12 x 18 canvas, but I never got around to doing this little diy mounting project until a couple weeks ago.
I spray painted the canvas with chalkboard paint to give it a nice matte black finish then decrapified the junk drawer to find these gold corner brackets just waiting for their shining moment. I used a little glue in the corners to keep the art piece in place.
The whole project took less than 15 minutes if you don’t count the spray paint drying time. I’m now wondering why in the world I waited so long to get around to doing this?! This is such an easy way to make a small piece of art a little heftier. It also works well in cases when you don’t want the look of a traditional frame.
I used this same mounting trick on the horse art print in my reading nook. Have you ever used this little mounting trick? Why is it that the small 15 minute projects are always the ones we put off? Or am I the only that does that? #procrastinatemuch
Great idea Carmel 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful trip! xo Kristin
