Make Inexpensive Framed Botanical Art Prints

With fall coming, I wanted to change up my art in the dining area a little. I loved having the vintage school chart there, but I wanted something less bright and more natural feeling. The colors felt a bit too summery for me.I really wanted some antique botanical art prints, but when I saw a price tag on some over $100 per framed print, I cringed just a wee bit. It’s easy to make inexpensive botanical art prints. Luckily, The Graphics Fairy has some amazing botanical graphic prints on her site and I grabbed a few of those you can easily make inexpensive framed botanical art prints.

Find your artwork

I found two botanical nut prints from The Graphics Fairy. You can also find art on Etsy, or from places like Juniper Print Shop. One of my prints is a Chestnut and the other is  a Pistachio. They have nothing to do with anything, but, I loved the colors and the two seemed to go together. They add some really nice “green” texture to the walls to make inexpensive framed botanical art prints.

 

There is a fun secret to creating larger scale affordable art!

There is a secret to making  art prints affordable! Upload them to a site such as Vistaprint (I just used them because I already order my business card through there and it was easy. ). After donwloading your images, order them as posters!!!!  One of the images had to be resized in my photo program to 300 dpi, but other than that it was  quick upload.The 18 x 24 size were only $9.00 each! After picking up two frames at the craft store for half price, both of the prints together, in frames, with the poster shipping were less than $60.00! It would have been a lot less if I had picked up the plain black frames for $9.99 each (which is what I originally went to buy), but I fell in love with these grey driftwood frames and splurged a little.

I love how they look when the light comes through the windows in the morning. I do love those frames. I am glad I bought those instead.

 

I love how easy it was to make inexpensive framed botanical art prints and how they look on my wall! I have been slowly making small Fall changes to my house as we go along.I am not quite ready to make the full commitment yet even though The air has been getting a little cooler.:)
