As you all know I am on a budget so I don't have much moola to spend on wall art so I figured why not make it out of the things I know I need in the room. I started with an ironing board. We usually hide ours in the closet but since this space is all about creating then why not have fun with what I need to create. So I introduced my ironing board to a little fabric paint.
It was super simple and fun! All I needed was some painters tape, about $4 of fabric paint, and a couple of sponge brushes.
I taped off the ironing board in a totally random, not even measured out, pattern. I went with simple stripes but you could do just about anything. (I also thought about chevron but didn't want to add another bold pattern to the room.)
Then I started painting. As always, multiple thin coats works much better then globing it on. The yellow took a few more coats then the silver but it was all very speedy.
And while the paint was still wet I gently pulled off the tape. To complete the project I attached two white hooks to the wall, hung it up and easy as that, I had not only a pretty place to iron but a homemade piece of something lovely for my wall.
