Wall Decor...

I love decorating. I was so excited when I finally had a place of my own to decorate any way I wanted. I love looking through magazines and getting ideas. I am not exactly sure where I got this idea but I was looking for something to spice up my bedroom decor and saw a print I am in love with right now. For some reason I am drawn to black and white prints. I was on the scrapbooking aisle at Wal-mart and this paper caught my attention. It was brown and white zebra print and a lot of other black and white, black and brown combinations. I thought to myself "Hmmm...I could do something with this." Then I had it. I decided to frame the scrapbook pages. I got the scrapbook tablet, which has about 15 pages with different designs, for $5.00. Then I went to the picture frame section and found 3 frames. I wanted it to go above my bed so I chose 3- 8X10's and they were $3.00 each. Here are the steps to framing the paper.


1. Take out the paper that is package in the frame as a display.

2. Lay it on the pattern paper of your choice. Make sure you find a good spot when the design will look good and centered. You don't want it to look chopped off.

3. Take a pencil and trace around the display paper, then cut it out. By using it as a guide it should insure that it will be a perfect fit for the frame.

4.Place the pattern paper in the frame and put the back of the frame on.

5. Hang your pictures where ever your heart desires!



Here is what my finished product looked like:

The middle one is hard to make out on here but it is a

black and brown design.
I think it looks pretty good for only costing about $15 bucks!
