We have a really small entry hallway in our flat, and up until recently, it was really really bare. Until, that is, I found this tutorial on Pinterest (the source of many a crafty idea). Ta-da! Easy, pretty wall art. This project only took about 45 minutes, start to hanging-on-the-wall finish. And I love it!
I found a really pretty (large) piece of paper at Paperchase with a pattern that I really love. It’s turquoise and pink and floral, three of my favorite things. I started with a black piece of background paper, which I cut slightly to fit the frame. I cut out the circle at the center of the flower, placed it, and then starting cutting out petals. I free-handed all of them, no template or anything, and I tried to make them smaller as I moved out from the center. 
If I were to do this again (and I might, because I’m a perfectionist), I would try to fill out the top a little more before getting into the smaller petals. It looks a little squished, but I’m mostly okay with that.
Still, I love where the final product hangs, next to our front door, above the little table where I throw my keys. Next project? A little bowl to throw those keys into!
make. craft. love.
