Make Your Own Art 

Making art from everyday objects is not only a great way to reuse and upcycle, but it is also a great way to save. Try your hand at these fun and simple DIY ideas:

• If you want to decorate more than your walls, it’s easy to reuse everyday objects to make sculptural art for your home. Gather your items and use Gorilla glue or a hot glue gun to create a freeform sculpture or glue items to an existing large vase or block of wood for your own unique piece.
• For another sculpture idea, be inspired by Atelier Calder by bending picture framing wire into a fun shape or form and displaying proudly. 
• If you have some old paint lying around, use it! Even if you aren’t especially artistic, you can utilize a blank wall as a canvas and transform it into a masterpiece by painting a pattern or simple picture.
• No paint? No problem! Crayons, markers, and colored pencils work just as well on walls as they do on paper. Sketch freeform shapes or outline objects or stencils then color in. Whatever wall art you choose, have fun and be frugal. No Monets needed!
