How to make your own DIY Print…

Prints are the new must have accessory to bring any space to life, whether it be in your office, on your bedroom wall, or gracing your hallway. I have been collecting frames to decorate our bedroom for a while now, and I really wanted to incorporate a couple of DIY Prints of beautiful and thoughtful quotes to spread positivity within the space.

I posted a little DIY that I undertook a few weeks ago of a print I created over on my Instagram (pictured below), and thanks to the great feedback, I thought why not share the process for the next one.

I have already shared with you the Rose Gold/Copper details that I am currently obsessing over and decided to DIY into our bedroom, so naturally my next frame is in Rose Gold too.

Love the bronze paint! These look so lovely. I’m not quite good with home DIY really.
