I'll admit it. I have a decorating problem–I get bored with my walls, but don't exactly have the budget to refresh the art every year. I also have a thing for 'word art' (is that even a thing?) So to satisfy my need for updated digs, I decided to take budget painting into my own hands. I went for a chalkboard aesthetic, but honestly, paint with whatever color palette your creative heart desires. You love crimson and azure blue? GO FOR IT! 


Supplies

-1 used wooden picture frame with cardboard backing (I got mine for $2 at a garage sale. You can also use cheap art that you find at Goodwill if you don't mind painting over the used canvas)
