I love the book Happy Kitty Bunny Pony! It's filled with cute delightful images to turn any bad day into an explosion of happiness. I found a copy at a Half Priced Books Store at a really cheap rate, so I decided I'd have my fun with it. And what better than to plaster some happiness on my blank bathroom wall. This was an cheap easy and fun project that I want to share with you, So grab your art project hat and get to creating! yay!
Materials:
1. Picture Book that you don't mind destroying
2. a bunch of frames, different sizes and styles(thrift store finds are great. My most expensive one was $1)
3. Paint
4. Scissors
I started by arranging my frames on the floor to get the perfect arrangement. I made sure most of them were touching another frame to give the illusion that this was one big piece of art.
Then once that was set, I chose a color pallet that went along with the bright happy colors in the book. Some of the frames I left their original color, but others I spray painted. Be sure you take out the glass from the frame before spray painting (I'm reminding you, because sometimes I make this mistake, oops).
Then once it's all dry, take your picture book and cut out your favorite images to fit in the frames. Most times frames have a cardboard insert that you can use as a sizing guide when cutting out your images.
When you're finished pop in all those pics and get to hanging!!!! And add that super fun to any room in your house!

It looks so fun and beautiful! I love it! I am going to have to do something like that sometime soon.
That looks fun but far beyond my creativity level.
Really cute idea! I must do that with my son's old books, it would be a great keepsake and wall art as well!
SO cute!
Great idea! I love all the color. Thrift store frames are one of my favorite things, too. :)
I LOVE that book! I bought it (not half-off, unfortunately) and thought the little stories that go along with the pictures were so funny.
What a great project! And a good way to recycle an old book, too.
It's looking great! I've got that book too, but don't think i'll be able to cut into it... even though i love those images up on the wall like that!
