Bedroom DIY!

Hey

I have wanted to add splashes of colour into my room for about a year since painting it cream, but with being away at uni 80% of the year it has been a slow process! I don't want to spend to much money on it so I'm trying to think of ideas for DIY projects I can do when I'm at home. This one is the first which I did while home for Easter.

What I used:

• Canvas - These were from B&M and cost a whole £2.99 for 4; BARGAIN!! I have only used 3 because of where I want to put them in my room but for the price, I wasn't to bothered about not using one of them.  
• Magazines - I seem to collect these without even knowing about it.  
• PVA Glue - I purchased this from The Range for £1. It's a great glue bottle as you don't have to pour it out to make sure you don't get massive blobs of glue where you don't want them.
• Paint Brush - Who doesn't have one of these laying around in the house!  

When I cut pictures out of magazines I don't just go for beauty items; I like having models on them and anything that looks like it could be used but make sure there is no prices or writing over them! I also just cut out until I get bored. I find being creative and hands on with a little project therapeutic so I managed to get plenty with some left over, which is always nice to have so you are not restricted to use pictures that don't quite go with what is already on there. 

Once cut out, I start to lay them out on the canvases to get a feel for them and move pictures around until I'm happy with what is in front of me. When happy I glue; trying to move as little pictures as possible. My trick for this is to take pictures of them on a phone, so there is always something to refer back to if you sneeze and they go flying. 

This DIY really does add colour and would be perfect in a beauty room, if your lucky enough to have one!
