This book has a couple of really cute ideas (one of which I will probably try) but it really doesn't have anything that I couldn't find on Pinterest and some of them are way too wierd for me.....I mean hanging pictures you've painted of your cutlery??? Glad I only paid $3 for it from Better World Books!

Full of GREAT ideas for creating wall art. I especially like the fact that it is geared toward the "non-artist" like myself. I can't wait to try a couple of these at my new place...

Fun options for non-artistic, non-crafty people looking to make some inexpensive wall art. Some nature-inspired stuff, some abstract stuff...
