wall art 1

As we are almost at the end of our ‘Bon Voyage’ month, I thought I would share with you some of the travel inspired wall art that I’ve made for my home, taking inspiration from artworks at Slay My Print. I love to make pieces to decorate our walls.

Last year we put together this gallery wall in the lounge.

I found the most beautiful old atlas whilst going thrifty shopping and then found the perfect frame to go with it whilst thrifting in another store. They go so well together.

I also bought 2 large wooden letters online. The first initial from both my husband and I. I printed off maps from our favourite destination and glued them with pva glue to the letters. Once they were dry, I trimmed off any excess paper and sanded down along the edges for a smooth finish. Then I painted white around the outside of each letter.

Another easy project that I made was this heart frame.

It was a gift for my husband. I printed off a map of Orlando, where we got married. I bought the frame and went to a local frame store and had the mount cut for me which cost just £5. It makes a lovely gift.

I also really enjoy making large photo collages on canvases. I have these in our hallway. It’s a great way to view lots of photos in one go.

I print the photos all off myself and then piece them together like a jigsaw on the canvas.

I like to add a title so it’s easy to see when & where the photos are from.

All the photos are glued down with pva glue and painted around the edge of each one. I’ve also made this one.

And just need to make one from our 2007 trip.

They are so fun to make.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this travel inspired month here. If you have any photos or projects to share, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
