Framed Objects As Art
One of my favourite craft projects that I ever made was this one,
my milk bottle cap art:
To this day, I enjoy seeing it in my kitchen. It adds that bold pop of colour against all the white cabinetry and brings a bit of fun to the room.
Shadow Box Art
It got me to thinking what else you could mount in a shadow box frame to
create instant art. There are so many great ideas I've seen on Pinterest and
in decor magazines so I poked around on Etsy for just the right items. If
you're looking for a little something to liven up your walls, consider
framing these unusual objects:
Vintage Swimsuits:
In a beach house,
guest room, or
bathroom, framed
swimsuits are a cheeky way to bring in some cheerful colour.
Multiples:
Seemingly boring items look great when clustered together. Keys, drink
caps, buttons... mount them against a plain background to let their colour
and shape really stand out.
Numbers and Letters:
Display significant dates or words that have meaning in a frame to create
personalized graphic art
Brassy Metal:
Old worn metal in a crisp frame can add instant vintage appeal to your
space. I like the idea of putting a single object centered in a very large
mat for a vintage meets contemporary look.
Quirky things:
Art can be fun. Why not put framed seed packets in your kitchen? Or
vintage phone dials hanging above your bedside table? Metal bobbins in
your craft room? Most anything can be transformed into art!
I like that you can take something inexpensive or even unattractive and
mount it in a frame and it becomes instantly stylish. Have you ever
created your own framed art? What did you frame?
