Miss Tracy's Tutorials: How To Make Cool, Recycled, Cheap Art Part 1

I have three main principles when it comes to tutorials: 1) fast, 2) easy and 3) affordable and this here tutorial covers all 3 of those bases.

 If you're a hardcore crafter, you probably already have all of the materials on hand - including the frame.

  Materials

. old file folders (what I used), or cardstock

. stamps*

. ink pad

. colored pencils

. frame*

. paper cutter

1. Cut the file folder or cardstock to the size of your frame. Mine is 4" x 6".

2. Stamp a design on your cardstock or file folder paper.

3. Color in the negative space with your colored pencils.

With the pink floral picture, I colored in the negative and positive space. For your project, you can design it as you like.

There ya go - affordable art for any space in your nest made by your own two hands. And don't forget to sign your masterpiece!

*NOTE: The frames you see in the bottom most photos were purchased at Michael's for the whopping price of $1.00! The yellow floral stamp was a dollar store find and the stamp for the pink floral picture I made from an eraser, which you can see in the right hand corner of the materials photo beneath the yellow floral stamp.
