{Tutorial} Make Your Own Free Printable Art


Art can add personality to your home.  There's no better way to add your own style to your space than by adding artwork.





Here's how you can create free printable artwork that reflects your personal taste and style...





What you'll need...

Frame and Mat
Cardstock
Computer and Printer




First visit The New York Public Library Digital Gallery. It is a great resource for free and open access to over 800,000 digitized images.





I happen to love black and white botanical prints.  After a quick search I came across the images I wanted to use.  Search for Assiette to find the images I chose,  but you can do a search of just about anything.

Choose an image and print it onto cardstock. 

Place prints into mats and frames. The images seemed to worked best with a mat cut for a 4 x 6 opening.














Let me know if you create your own free printable art from The New York Public Library Digital Gallery.  I'd love to see what you do.  :)

  7. I do this a lot, and I'd say it is my favorite DIY projects, probably because it is one I can do without screwing up ;)
