This week whilst I am on holiday I am passing over the blog to a few lovely bloggers, first up is Emma from Handbags To Change Bags, her blog is beautiful and a great insight into her life and her beautiful family. Anyway enough babble from me, over to Emma.
Hi I'm Emma from Handbags To Change Bags and I'm guest posting for the lovely Ellie today while she is away on holiday. Today's post is a DIY, hope you enjoy it!
I'm always on the lookout for cute ideas for my kids bedrooms and the home in general, I recently saw a lovely personalised piece of wall art with your baby's birth stats on it and thought it would be perfect for Summer's bedroom.
However when I noticed the price was £28 without a frame and when you add in the frame it was £68 I just couldn't justify paying that amount.
So I decided I'd take on a little DIY project and have a go at making one myself and I'm really pleased with how it came out!
All I did was use PicMonkey to add different texts in different colours and fonts to a white background and printed it out. I chose to design mine a little different to the one I'd seen but you can design it anyway you want.
I got the frame from Ikea and the whole thing cost me the grand total of £4!
I think it looks lovely in Summer's bedroom and goes perfectly with her room decor, I'm going to make another one for Riley's bedroom and I'm also making one for my nephew as part of his birthday present.
Thank you so much Ellie for allowing me to guest post and if you enjoyed my post then please pop over to my blog and say Hi!

Great idea, they really are great aren't they.
DeleteI love this idea! I did a similar thing for Ted with his name in a crossword but have yet to print it and display. Picmonkey is fab for this sort of thing :) x
ReplyDeleteAww your daughter was born the same day as my daughter
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I made Amelia's too just couldn't justify paying the prices they were asking! x
ReplyDeleteThis is fab!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I love these prints but they can be so expensive! Don't you just love Picmonkey!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's simply stunning isn't it, so wish I had done one of these when my daughter was younger but still time to do one now me thinks.
DeleteThat's beautiful. I thought of getting one when Amy was born, but they were so expensive that I really couldn't justify it. I had no idea you could do these in good old Picmonkey. Looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt's great isn't it, neither did I but such a simple idea and looks stunning...yay for Picmonkey
