Lately I have been incredibly bored with our cream colored walls and while I have things in the works for a few of our walls I still had bare areas. Then I found this idea on Pinterest: Chevron Wall Art. Two things I LOVE right now: Chevron Design and Gold- um perfect right!? Plus the original post found here is super helpful, has a great tutorial, and gives you a link to print our the chevron design! Score.
Here is how mine turned out:
[ I <3 them]
I started with the three pack of 20 x 20 canvas on sale at Joanns and printed out the chevron pattern
Then using a push pin and the tutorial found here I made marks of where the tape should go:
And continued that process until all three canvases were ready to go!
Be sure to really smooth down the tape :)
I used Martha Stewart's Paint in Gold and applied a thin coat first
Then, once that dried I applied a thick coat of paint - going with the chevron pattern.
One they were totally dry I carefully pulled of the tape:
And put them up on our walls!
The whole project cost me $25 dollars and about three hours! There are a few spots where the pain got under the tape but it is not noticeable unless you are right in front of it! I am super happy with the end result.
What is your favorite quick and easy wall decor??
I am so in love with gold right now! this gives me the idea to make my own chevron gold fabric! thanks for the inspiration:)

DeleteThose are so elegant, and definitely not hard to make--just probably time consuming because of the tape! I love DIY wall art because then you get exactly what you wanted! :)

new follower! love this project - i love everything gold and chevron, so what a perfect combo!
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute! I have been trying to decide what to do on my walls... maybe I'll try this project! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for a wall. I have lots of blank spaces that are in need of some DiY art. Dropping in from Live Laugh {linky} party.
ReplyDeleteThese turned out awesome!!!! I did something similar a few months ago, but ended up monogramming the chevron fabric instead. I think I will add this to my list of to-do's!You can check out my project here: http://domesticsuperhero.com/2012/12/03/diy-monogrammed-canvas/
