DIY Wall Art for Less Than $5

Hello! Katy here with some DIY to spruce up your walls! I’m making a gallery wall in our office space. Although I am terrible about deciding a color scheme and will probably change it soon after, I’m currently going with black, gold, and white! I would love to buy everything I see in stores to decorate my home. But the reality is I can’t always afford brand new items and I like the feeling of hanging something I made on the wall.

So here is a DIY project for adding some handmade items to your walls!

First I bought 3 small clipboards from Walmart. They were about $1.30 each. I hand painted them with gold metallic and black paint. (already had from other projects)

I am no perfectionist and like the more relaxed look. But you could definitely use some painters tape or a stencil for straighter lines. I plan to re-paint one line again because it is a little wonky the more I look at it….but that’s the joy of DIY!

Next, I was searching Hobby Lobby one day for any Easter decorations left and found their St. Patrick’s decor was 90% off. So I got this little block for $0.50! Not a huge Patrick’s Day decorator so I decided to re-use it.

I sanded off the glitter and re-painted it and added a simple printable with Mod Podge matte to the front.

So now I have 4 items to begin my gallery wall! I’m still in the process of collecting more items to hang, but now I have 4 items to begin with for less than $5! Also if I decide to change color schemes down the road, it will be inexpensive to switch things up!

Happy DIY’ing!!
