DIY Artwork Using Only A Record Frame and Scrapbook Paper

I have found a really simple way to make artwork for your house or office.  It started with a stroll down the scrapbook isle at my local craft store.  I really loved so many of the prints I found.  There have also been many times I've been in the fabric department and wished I could design a room around some of those adorable patterns I came across.  One Christmas, my new brother in law put record frames on his wish list.  I had never heard of these but I went into the local craft store and checked in the collector and display frame section and found them.  They were 12" x 12" created to display record covers as artwork.  But my brain saw 12" x 12" and immediately started seeing all those amazing scrapbook patterns hanging in my house!  The beauty is, if you find a paper you like better or decide to redecorate, just swap out the paper!

Cost Estimate
12" X 12" scrapbook paper is around $0.59 a sheet.  The 12" x 12" frames are $10 but Hobby Lobby and Michael's always have 40 % off coupons online and they often put the frames on sale for 50% meaning you never have to pay over $6 for the frames.  So for $6.59 you can have funky fun artwork that you create in your home in 3 steps.

Finished Frame Ready For Hanging

Bam!  Your done!  Adorable art to match any room in your house.

These were both done with fabric cut into 12" x 12" Squares
using the cardboard backs in the frames as my pattern to trace.

These were done with "Wood" pattern scrapbook paper and using black paper and a stencil I cut the tree, bear and moose out and glued them down.
