How to make wall art from wood scraps

Janine at Salvage Love has posted a tutorial for the DIY wall art she made for her living room. She snatched up a pile of leftover wood scraps from her dad and transformed them into this! Learn how right here. You don't have to paint yours orange, but I highly recommend it.

    Saw something similar at the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend. It was one of those "such a simple idea, I can do that!" kind of finds

    Wow! Sometimes I feel pretty good about the DIY projects I blog about (today - a DIY chalkboard knife block) and then I see something like this. That is an amazing idea and it looks so beautiful and mod. Definitely going to check out the how-to.

    I love this! The texture and 3D effect of it makes it so much more interesting.

    That looks amazing, and I've been looking for something like that for my living room -- but the links seem not to work.

    Well, YOU are adorable, too, of course.

    Ha. Maybe I should make another blog that's just a live chat between my mom and me. It would go like this:
    Mum: Oh Jess, I love you tons and I'm so proud.
    Jess: Mom, stop it. You're embarrassing.
    Mum: I don't care. I love to embarrass you in front of tons of people.

    Seriously, I worry people are going to throw up some day. I think it's possible she just enjoys making me squirm.

    Okay. I'll stop.

    'Most' people are prob'ly sick of me, anyway.

    Nope. Everybody wishes they had a mom that loves them so much. You don't have to stop. I think it's your job to write mooshy comments. You can't help it; you're a mom.

    Awww!!

    Sorry if I embarrass you, though. ;)

    (Don't tell her, folks, but I lied. I wasn't really gonna stop! Hahahaha!)

    Ha ha - I've never given my mum my blog address but I'm reconsidering now...!

    My INTENDED comment, though, was just along the lines of how cool this is - thanks for sharing!

    First of all, this wood wall art ROCKS! And of course it would require orange. I'm going to try this one. Mark has bunches of scraps from work. Yay!

    Oh, and the reason I now am friends with you mother and have met her in person was solely and strictly because of your comment conversations.

    Carry on...

    Dude! I have so many of these lying around from my husband's unfinished-going-on-four-years bar in our basement. (No, I'm not kidding.) Putting this on my to-do list. Some day!
