make this: moving supplies art

You know those artist’s who can take, literally, anything, throw it together and call it art? Well I kind of feel like that with this project. When we moved to Dallas, I used these giant styrofoam pieces to put in between our frames during transit and they worked so well that I wanted to keep them until we moved again. Which would be at least two years in the future…. Sooo, what to do with them until then? Image may be NSFW.

Well, why not turn them into art for our long boring hallway? GENIUS! Image may be NSFW.

This project was super easy and pretty fast. All I used was scissors, fabric that I already had on hand, and painters tape.

Just cut fabric to the size of the styrofoam, use painter’s tape to secure, and voila.

I hung them up using straight pins and string but you could probably also keep them up with the 3M velcro tabs or more duck tape.

To add a little extra, I put a square piece of scrapbook paper into the middle, secured with tiny straight pins. I think, down the road I might add a photo in the middle and use the scrapbook paper as a matte, but for now, these three “canvases” spruce up our hallway quite nicely.

When it’s time to move, I can unwrap the fabric and use them again! Plus, by only using painter’s tape and pins to put them together, the fabric is also 100% reusable and undamaged. Win!

What’s something weird that you’ve made art out of?
