FREE Gallery Wall Art Wishbone Printable | FREEBIE FRIDAY

FREE Gallery Wall Art Wishbone Printable | FREEBIE FRIDAY

I have a very difficult time committing to art. I'm not sure what it is, but I change my mind a lot, and I'm very weary to pull the trigger. Despite my love for all of the gallery walls on Pinterest, I have yet to actually create one myself.

This is where I'm thankful for renderings, because I can put together my gallery wall digitally before committing to anything (thank goodness, because the first ever gallery wall I rendered was horrendous! Glad I didn't go for any of those pieces for my wall!). My next step in getting over my fear of gallery walls is printing my own prints. Quotes, images, digitized art, etc, to see how it will look on the wall. Once I live with it for a while, I will be able to step back and see what I like and what I don't like, and from there, bite the bullet for similar, real art pieces (well, that's the plan anyways).

While working on this faux gold foil wishbone print for a future gallery wall, it occurred to me that maybe you're like me. Maybe you can't commit to art either, and maybe you'd like to test drive some pieces before ordering the real thing, so I thought, perfect for my Freebie Friday series which I haven't posted to in forever!

And if you love your "faux" gold foil wishbone as much as I do, head on over to etsy and search for some real gold foil prints- there are a couple on there that are my favourite and will definitely be adding to my new house!

For best results, I recommend sending the PDF file to a print shop, or printing on a heavier card stock (65 lb and up) on highest quality setting with a nice full ink cartridge! Also, a glossy paper might show the gold foil "effect" better than matte, but both should still look great from afar!

Are you as fearful of art as I am? Or am I just a crazy, indecisive person?

Reverse Bow Art | Easy DIY Gift Idea

Reverse Bow Art | Easy DIY Gift Idea

I spent the weekend crafting and playing with my new gold foil sheets and my Silhouette. Oh the fun things you can do with a craft cutter and some gold foil! I could have spent days playing around, but alas the weekend ended and I had to get back to real life.

One of my favourite creations was a simple gold bow on white paper - classic, perfect for the holidays and all year round, and definitely a nice bit of Kate Spade inspired whimsy.

While I was playing around with the bow shape I designed, and the many cuts I made, I had an idea. Instead of putting a gold foil bow onto white cardstock, what if I cut it out of the white cardstock, and put my gold glitter wrapping paper behind it? So I did.

What I love most about using this for a gift is that it can be personalized - a piece of wrapping paper from a bridal shower, fabric from a baby's quilt or a wedding dress, a newspaper or magazine clipping, pages from a favourite book ... the options are endless!

If you don't have a craft cutter, you could always try an exacto knife - or cut a simpler shape like a heart.




What's your favourite DIY gift to give?
FREEBIE | Ho Ho Ho Holiday Print

FREEBIE | Ho Ho Ho Holiday Print


 I figured it was about time I start filling the empty frames in my house with something other than the stock black and white photo of a family of three whom I do not know. Graphic and typographic prints seemed like the way to go. I whipped up a bunch of designs to play around with - and now I wonder, why didn't I do this before? Such easy, classic art, and a great way to decorate for the holidays as well!

I have a selection of designs available in my shop (Etsy or my online store), but for those of you not scared of your printer, why not download and print for free!

Download the Ho Ho Ho print here and enjoy! And if you feel like sharing, use #thepapersociety to show me how you style your print!





Enjoy! xo J
