Five wall art projects that are WAY more interesting than picture frames

I love picture frames — and lord knows we have hundreds of them — but I especially love wall art that’s more personalized. Anybody can slap a photo in a frame, but taking the time and effort to make something beautiful for your walls is really special.

(Um, I should know, because I’m literally running out of wall space in our house.)
I’ve written about a lot of wall art projects in my weekly DIY column, My Handmade Home, so I thought I would round up a few favourites.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m a writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep them from taking over my life. Creating things helps.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time with her writing. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
