I cant tell you how many times I have heard the words " You are such a Martha Stewart" (haha) I just love crafting, diy, painting, sewing, and home decorating. It gives me great satisfaction to look around my house and say " I MADE THAT!"

Easy Art Blocks

Easy Art Blocks tutorial:

From Becoming martha pictures

 This is a super easy and cheap way to get a pop of color in any room! The whole project cost under twenty dollars! I started out by going to Lowe's and buy a 1 ft x 10 ft shelving board. Next I had them cut it down for me ( yeah I am lazy like that ;) into 12 inch by 12 inch squares.

Next I went to Micheal's and picked out nine scrapbook papers that went with my decor. I brought it all home and got to work! Lay out your pattern before hand so you can see how the papers will work together!

I painted all the edges with espresso brown paint I already had on hand. Then I used watered down craft glue to attach the paper to the wood. After that I used distress ink along the edges.

Next I added picture hanging kits to the back of each square, and hung them in a 3x3 square pattern.

I told you it was super easy! You could use any color combination you like, or for a smaller space use only four blocks. Hope this will give you inspiration to try to make something new this week!

*Update I put a new twist to my Easy Art Blocks, by adding a picture to the front!  Here is the link for the tutorial!
