Pin this for later!<\/strong><\/p>\n Contents<\/p> Here is the picture that I wanted to recreate from Anthropologie:<\/p>\n Via Pinterest<\/p><\/div>\n Isn’t it so beautiful? It was $748 USD which is about $1k Canadian Dollars. That is very expensive and so I wanted to create something similar in my home using what I have.<\/p>\n I wanted to create a border around my design as I like the look of having a mat around my picture. What I did first was to put painter’s tape around the borders of the matboard.<\/p>\n Turns out, it worked in my favor as I had to cut it to fit to size.<\/p>\n Since you are reading this before working on your project, you want to cut your matboard or paper to size first.<\/p>\n Be smarter than me haha.<\/p>\n I did not realize that it was slightly smaller than the size of the frame. When I had to cut it later on, the designs were not cut off since I put a border around it when I was prepping it.<\/p>\n If you are going for a design from Anthropologie or Pottery Barn or a store of your choice, you want to choose it before you start.<\/p>\n Yes, this is copying their design but with your own take on it. Like I mentioned earlier, it would cost around $1k Canadian Dollars if I bought it. That is a lot of money, so making a copy or an Anthropologie Inspired art is better for my finances and home.<\/p>\n Please know that I am not a professional artist, just a mom with random art supplies.<\/p>\n Now you can decide whether you want to follow exactly as the wall art decor or something similar.<\/p>\n I chose to use the acrylic paints that I already had at home (because I did not want to go out to buy).<\/p>\n You can buy them online if you have specific colors in mind.<\/p>\n With this Anthropologie Inspired Wall Decor, I chose to use blue, white, black, and gold acrylic paints.<\/p>\n This is the most exciting part.<\/p>\n For this design, I decided to do the top half before the bottom half.<\/p>\n Analyzing this art piece, I started with the right long strokes and estimated where it would go until. Next, I worked on the middle strokes and followed by the top left strokes going across to the right.<\/p>\n Finally, I worked on the blue strokes at the bottom.<\/p>\n With the paint, I decided to first use gold for the top right long strokes.<\/p>\n Next, I mixed it with some white paint to paint the middle part.<\/p>\n Third, I mixed white and black paint to paint the grey portion.<\/p>\n Finally, I painted the bottom with my blue paint roughly following the strokes on the original art.<\/p>\n What I realized was that it does not have to be perfect since it is a hand painted piece. I really like it!<\/p>\n I would love to see yours. Do tag me on Instagram @makingdayscount<\/a> if you make your own.<\/p>\n If your frame is brand new, remove the current matting and anything else in the frame.<\/p>\n Mine was a thrift one that I used for my calendar previously<\/a>. Now that I bought myself a planner, I did not need to use the wall calendar anymore.<\/p>\n I decided to paint mine black to match the other frames in the family living room where I’ll be placing it.<\/p>\n When your painting is dry, you can put your matboard into the frame.<\/p>\n It depends how long you want to wait, whether a few hours or overnight.<\/p>\n This is when you can see everything coming together.<\/p>\n Now it is time to hang it up in the space where you want to put it and enjoy it.<\/p>\n You can now enjoy this beautiful piece of art work and save a lot of money by doing it yourself.<\/p>\n I am so happy how it turned out and would love to see yours.
