This past weekend I worked on a project as part of the magazine copy-cat challenge over at Debbie Doo’s. I needed some wall art and I found this cool print in the Crate and Barrel catalogue. This was my inspiration.
Now, I realize that the piece in the catalog is made from handcrafted paper made from boiled bark, but the $899 price was a bit more than I wanted to pay for my wall art, plus I wanted a smaller version.
I already had a frame that I could use to recreate the art on a smaller level.
So I headed to my local craft store and picked up some scrapbook paper and burlap.
I cut the scrapbook paper in smaller increments to duplicate the effect.
Then I added a piece of burlap and put it under the glass in the frame.
What do you think?
I am sharing this at Debbie Doo’s Copy Cat Challenge.

It looks great! What a smart idea. I would never think to do that. I like the way you found inspiration in their catalogue and then just made your own.
Organizedisland says
Thank you Sicorra for your sweet comment. It was fun to try!
Debbie says
I think you did a great job! Looks wonderful…and the smaller size is what I would prefer too.

I LOVE THIS. Such a cheap and easy way to make wall decor because you could really use ANYTHING in that same way.
