Wall Art For Kids Room

Ive been thinking about what to give for my friends son's birthday. I wanted something personal and at the same time something that would decorated his room that he could also keep when he is older. Ive ordered bunch of vinyl and decided to make something a little bit different. Picture with the name and positive or favorite things starting with the same letter as the name. Each word is in different font style and all are in blue and green shades. I didn't wanted to put any background there but unfortunately after Ive finished everything I realized that picture isn't going to hang on the wall without the back of it...

Yard sale treasures

The other day we went to a yard sale that was in my in law neighborhood where we found large decorative frame for one dollar. I wasn't sure what to make out of it yet but I knew that it would just be too good to pass despite the ugly color of the frame and funny flowery print. (Unfortunately Ive not made a photo of what it looked like, but it wasn't very pretty and I wouldn't get anyone to hang it in their house thats for sure). 

So we were debating if we should make it a chalkboard (about a year back my husband really wanted one and I told him that he isn't gonna get one because it would be all the time in mess....) or something else. I decided to go with chalkboard after all and started working on it. I painted the frame with Waverly Inspirations agave chalk paint made by Plaid, that I found in walmart.

 It came out really well. I also bought vinyl that I thought was pretty and if the chalkboard wouldn't work I could use instead.

Well at that point I realized that I don't actually have any black chalkboard paint at home, which I thought I did so I decided to go with the vinyl instead. I added some picture wires at the back and attached photos with pegs and this is what we ended up with....
