DIY Scrabble song lyric picture

What I love about DIY's is that they usually don't cost that much money to create something beautiful for your home. And when you get fed up of it you can just change it up!

A while ago I posted my Instagram photo-art I made for in our bedroom. Well it was kind of getting slightly boring and I wanted to change things up. I made sure I could re-use the frame by sticking the photo's on with cellotape. So getting the pictures off was easy. I give this as a tip to anybody who wants to DIY but not make it permanent. Never use glue unless you are either really sure you want to use the DIY over and over. Unless you just want to keep buying new frames and materials, but that's just not what recycling is all about is it?!:)

Well as I was saying, I was looking for a new project to spice up our bedroom wall when I came across loads of different Scrabble letters in the cupboard just waiting to be used!
Now I love using my favourite quotes and song lyrics as art on the wall so I decided to incorporate this into the picture.

In making this DIY you need to make sure you have at least three sets of Scrabble letters, so from three games. It's fun to have different coloured letters as well to make any quote you want to incorporate pop out! I chose lyrics to one of my fave song by "The Gaslight Anthem". Love that band:)
I also chose to incorporate mine and my boyfriends and our cats names into the picture;) Although he is yet to notice this:)

I chose to glue the letters onto the canvas and I know this isn't recycling but otherwise the letters would just not stay on! So I had no choice I guess!

I love the way the picture looks in the bedroom. It's different and one of a kind :) And you can make this DIY super personal with your favourite quotes or even song lyrics:)

Happy Scrabble hunting and thanks for letting me share!
