Paper Doll Artwork: So Shabby Chic!
We are finally in the process of finishing Ainsley’s big girl room! (hopefully this week)
With our small budget in mind, I set about making her some artwork while keeping the shabby chic theme in mind.
Aren’t they cute!!!
And SO easy!
Paper dolls were a favorite of mine growing up and I wanted to incorporate them into Ainsley’s room somehow. I found a shop on Etsy that sells printable pictures and for $2.95 I was able to print these paper dolls out. Cool, right!
So, I printed them out onto regular cardstock, making sure my printer settings were set to “photo quality”.
Then, I purchased some mismatching photo frames from my local thrift store, spray painted them a creamy white, and lightly distressed the edges using a fine grit sandpaper.
Finally, to give it a really shabby chic look, I created my own mats out of vinyl shelf paper!
Just cut and trim to fit!
All in all, I think I spent a total of $15 for 3 pieces of artwork for Ainsley’s room. Awesome.
Can’t wait to do the big room reveal soon!
In the meantime, she is still doing very well in her big girl bed!
