DIY Murals

I have a thing for photo art… it was what I went to college for and a long unused and missed talent. So when I ran across these DIY photo mural projects, I was really intrigued. What a cool way to make an instant statement in a room, and instead of just buying some nice pic that you like, you can totally make it your own. And make it huge! If you have a boring room that needs some oomph, these are the projects for you. Then I found a few mural art projects that also couldn’t be ignored, so I threw them in!

‘The Granny Girls’ made a DIY photo mural for less than $50, and theirs is temporary, so it’s great for renters or those who don’t want to fully commit a whole wall. And they show you how to add a logo onto your mural!
