Since I've had some time off from school, I've been working on art projects like crazy! I've had many people tell me that creating art is too expensive, but I've definitely got some tips for getting in touch with your creative side on a small budget.
When I'm in the creative mood, I often take trips to Goodwill and Dollar Tree. Art can be made out of anything and I can often be found scouring all of the Goodwill stores around Michiana for anything that can be used in my collage art sketchbooks or elsewhere. I recently picked up some old records from Goodwill for 25 cents a piece, threw a little paint on them, and made a fun/retro wall piece.

I'm getting very excited about my upcoming wedding and Justin and I beginning our lives together. I decided to make a little sign for our new apartment we are moving to in October. I bought a pre-cut wood piece and alphabet stickers from Dollar Tree and some ribbon from Walmart combined with my collection of acrylic paints. Can't wait to hang it on our door!

Ed and I love to garage sale and use old things and repurpose them for new things!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! One person's junk is another person's treasure :)
