DIY wall art for the bathroom!

This past weekend my hubs got to painting our ugly yellow-goldish bathroom
a beautfiul tan color--hot chocolate to be exact! ;)
Love it.
I needed some cute wall art, but didn't want to spend alot of $$ at the moment.
I had gotten a 3 pack of cute stencils at Hobby lobby during the week,
and these were perfect!

I had this canvas lying around for about a year & a half.. I had bought it on clearance when we lived in Germany. I spraypainted the canvas brown.
Then I used the same tan color that Darryl used for the bathroom, for the stenciled part!
I also added some blue in the center to make it pop a bit.
And there we go! Some cute, cheap, DIY wall art for the bathroom, that only
cost me a can of spraypaint, and $2.99 for stencils!
And since I had the paint out...
and had another smaller canvas on hand.
I decided to try out a few of the other stencils that came with the pack!
My two year old had different plans for me though.
Scribble painting is his game..

He was not happy that I got frustrated with him over the paint mess. LOL

If at first your two year old cutie messes it up...
try, try again.
Perfect for the stall part of the bathroom!
I love frugal ways to make the house look cuter and more decorated!
This was fun & super easy! And CHEAP! Since I had everything on hand except for the stencils and spray paint, I only paid about $5 for the supplies! Yay for cheap. :)

Linking to all of these parties!

I REALLY like this idea. I've never thought of doing that. I always want something on my walls but I'm not into junky fake prints. I'm going to try this out whenever we move to the US.

Super cute! I've been there on the whole frustrated helper end! I've found it's fun to just buy a few of the 8x10's and let the boys go at it...I can be creative and they feel like they're helping too! (you never know what kind of masterpiece you'll get)

Oh, using the same Hot Chocolate on the canvases turned out so striking and pretty, I love it! I'm not a brown person at all, and I would even hang those in my home - great job!

The second one is my favorite! I love home made wall art. I feel it's more meaningful than picking up some mass produced (overpriced) piece from Home Sense or somewhere similar!
