DIY Bedroom Decor Series: 1: Quote In A Frame.

Hey Guys! :)

So I've decided to create a weekly series, dedicated to showing you some DIY home or room decors. They will all be low cost, as I am a student, I can't afford to go and spend lots and lots of moneys on things to make my room/home look cool, so I'm gonna show you inexpensive ways to still make sure your room looks nice!

I will list the items you will need, and where I got them, and the cost at the bottom of this post.

1: Quote In A Frame.

So I knew that I wanted to create something simple that I could hang up on my wall. I decided on a simple frame with a quote inside it, something that means something to me and can be inspirational. Obviously you can choose your own quote, or a drawing or design would look nice!

For my design I decided that I wanted it to have quite a pastel colour theme. But you can have any colour theme you want.




You will need:
Glass clip frame, or a normal frame, it's your choice.
Patterned paper / wrapping paper.
Coloured card.
Scissors / scalpel.
Pencil.
Ruler.
Glue.


Firstly, what you will need to do is cut the patterned paper (or wrapping paper, which is what I used) to the same size as the frame. What I did to make this exact is I drew around the glass in the frame.


You then want to decide on your quote. I chose 'Don't Worry Be Happy' for mine, but it is totally up to you what you do. Then draw out the letters onto any coloured card you like.


And then cut all the letters out. This takes quite a while, so put your favourite tv show on in the background :). You can use scissors, although I used a scalpel as it is a lot easier to get all the nooks and crannies of the letters.


Then once you've finallllllly cut all the letters out you want to re-arrange them on the patterned paper to make sure they fit. When your happy stick them down and add any other little things onto it to make it look super cute and cool!

The patterned paper that I brought was wrapping paper and it came with really cute tags that I added to the poster.





I think that this looks really nice and it looks so nice for the summer! You could put any other quotes and any other colour themes to suit your room!

I hope that you liked this post and if you decided to have a go tag me on Instagram: rebecca_lou2907 :)
