Easy DIY Photo Mats

These Easy DIY Photo Mats Will Give Your Wall Art Personality

Hellooo Blogland Friends,

So, how was your Christmas? I am happy to announce that I survived the hustle and bustle, had a good day with my family but am kind of glad it’s over. I suffer from chronic back pain and Fibromyalgia and I find the older I get, the harder it is for me to pull off Christmas. It takes me a few days to recuperate. Now that it is over I am taking this week to relax a bit with the kids home. I am enjoying not having to crawl out of bed at 6:15 am every morning.

Enough about me. Let’s get down to business! Today I am going to show you how to create an Easy DIY Photo Mat that’s easy to customize to your own style and decor.

This crafty project is another chapter ripped from my Master Bedroom Makeover. I had a couple of framed photos that I wanted to update completely. I originally had them set up with a photo placed on top of a fabric backing with a couple of buttons as embellishments. Cutesy and Country. They hung on my walls  for years. I wanted a new look all together.

I started with a piece of poster board cut to the size of my 10″ X 13″ frame. I gave the poster board a coat of silver spray paint and let it dry. When that was complete I simply stenciled over the silver with white craft paint.

I was going for a subtle damask look.

Once that was dry I adhered a horse inspired upcycled book page  that I created on my computer to the top with a glue stick. You know, the kind of glue sticks we send our little ones to kindergarten with?

They look great flanking my bed just above my upcycled night stands.

Purchasing custom photo mats for frames can be expensive and they are all pretty generic. If you want to create your own and give them a personal touch you can make your own DIY photo mats using the same process. You can easily change the color combination and stencil design to suit your own taste.

On that note here is another set of prints I did for a client recently…

These easy DIY Photo Mats are actually pieces of brown craft paper that I painted and then adhered vintage beach images to. You could actually use paper shopping bags if you wanted to!

The next time you want to frame a standard print or family photo and don’t want to spend a fortune on expensive mats, create your own DIY photo mats and give them personality!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I will be spending the rest of the week trying to relax and will probably be ringing in the new year at home snuggling up on the couch. Have a Happy New Year!

Happy Decorating!
