K, so there are times that a large blank wall needs something, …but what? And what if I don’t want to spend a lot of cash on artwork but still want to make my space personal and beautiful to me?
When adding art or prints or frames or pictures to my walls, running out to buy something new just isn’t in my nature. Instead, I dig around in my stuff, go through boxes and closets and drawers, and display items that are personal and beautiful and important to me and my little family.
It’s FREE art. I like FREE. 
Here are some examples of things that could be used as FREE art in any space:
Using Material:
Flags
Placemats
Fabric
Using Random Items :
Shells
Pennies
Utensils
Jewelry
Buttons
Using Paper:
Candy Wrappers or Fortune Cookie Fortunes
My own framed Dove Chocolate Promises
Favorite Book Pages
Love Letters
Maps
Sheet Music
I love the idea of having a few of the things that are most important to me out and around me. I like giving them a place of honor on the wall; displaying them in a frame or on a shelf or counter or nightstand. These items, and their memories, make me smile. And not spending a dime on random artwork makes me smile even more.
Have a great day lovelies!
I have done book pages before, but there are some other really neat ideas here. Hope you are having a good day –
