Cheap Art for the Kitchen

Hello Everyone!

I’m all about being cheap, so when I saw this cute farm animal print on-line for FREE, I just had to do something with it. 

And something with it I did!  

032

   I went to Staples and had them enlarge the print to a 12x12.  I made the pallet frame from an old white picket fence I had in the shed.  I Mod Podged the picture onto the pallet frame.  After the picture was dry from the Mod Podge, I applied a dark walnut stain to give it an aged look.

I think it turned out right cute considering it only cost me 75 cents to make and that was the Staples fee for enlarging it.

As always, thanks for your visit and leaving such sweet comments.  They always make my day!

  20. I am going to make a copy and paste response for all your projects because I'm running out of original things to say. Each one is flipping better than the last! When I first looked at the photo I was thinking it could be a new turducken or whatever that thing is called where you stuff each thing inside the other. It would be a chickigambow.
