DIY wall art projects are one of my favorite types of projects to create, since they can make such a big impact in a space at a relatively low cost. But what I love even more than a budget-friendly project is one that won’t take long to make. Two hours is my threshold for a project like this…otherwise, it sits around half-done for weeks, driving everyone in my family nuts as they have to step over my halfway-finished project. (I know you’ve been there.)
These DIY wall art ideas can be completed in just a couple of your kids’ naptimes. Check them out in the slideshow.
