This is a stylish, unique way to hang photos, art prints, or even your old postcards for display in your home. I used the same method i shared with you guys of making a custom sized frame on the cheap, mounted the wallpaper to a cardboard backing, and tacked the cardboard to the back of the frame with small nails.

The better option is to use a nail to hang the picture.


1/4″ thick plywood is perfect for mounting inside of picture frames to create framed fabric wall art because it’s sturdy, yet thin enough to still hold inside of the frame with a thin layer of fabric on it. Then gently lay your wallpaper down and fit it to the canvas. Mat and frame for instant and unusual.

Just grab a canvas or art frame and paint it with a custom mix of paint colors and next spruce it up with gold foil taken into tiny pieces and hence you will get a fab looking abstract painting that will go fetching on any of your interior walls.


Use a wider mat, or artwork with negative space around the edges, to separate the art from the wall. Courtesy of style/library wray (3m stocked) la seine 5.) apply a layer of water to the canvas (not paper!) using the sponge.
