As a kid I heeded my Mom’s warning to not write on the walls, but now that I have long since moved out, I am finally experiencing what it’s like to write on my walls!! Well.. on my chalkboard wall that is.
Believe it or not, I completed this project for under $10! Here’s how…
Decorating is a way to personally connect with the structures and pieces of your home, handcrafting any decorations can help to forge or strengthen the connection you have with your home and the way you feel within in. To my fellow renters: I know it’s difficult to fully decorate when you can’t put holes in the wall or paint, but don’t fret you can still decorate your walls with your own personal touches.

After finishing a coloring page, I don’t always want to leave it sitting in the coloring book. When I have a coloring page that inspires me, I challenge myself to incorporate that page in a larger design for wall art. I started with this cat design that was done with colored pencils.
For this design I chose to incorporate the intricate cat coloring page in with a medium sized canvas that I purchased from Michaels Craft Store. I used acrylic paint to coat the background in a pastel pink color and mixed a light purple color for the “walkway” that the cat cut out stood on. Now I have a wall art piece that I can be proud to hang in my guest room. Get creative with your coloring pages and share your tips with me!
