I have been amazed by the talent of bloggers lately! I thought that I’d share some of the inspiring DIY art projects I’ve been seeing. First up, Lindsay, of Little House Blog created this fabulous abstract art last week. Her tip: Start by painting the background black first. I’ll be trying this!
The Homemade Home has it dialed in when it comes to DIY art! Ashley made both this stencil art, and their family sign!
Children can take part too in Merilee’s DIY Circle Punch Art on Mer Mag!! I may try this with the boys in the next few days since the teachers here are on strike… no school!
Style at Home featured David Barclay’s home, and the simple, bold art he created for it. Choose your favorite color, buy a large canvas, and go for it! (Photography: Stacey Brandford)
And, although not recent, I had to include this fabulous typographic piece that blogger Alisa Burke created using black shoe polish!! Shoe polish! What a great way to bring a meaningful quote into your home.
I hope these projects have inspired you to create some art of your own!

Great round up! I love them all!
I might just have to try the shoe polish art. I love everything to do with typography. Seriously? ……… Shoe polish???? Great finds Rosa!
wow! So many great ideas. I love the large blue painting, especially against the white walls.
wow great round up!
Thanks Sundeep! So many creative people out there!!
So inspired! I am still swooning over Lindsay’s recent DIY art project. Such a pretty palette. The following 5 shots are equally fab Rosa. Thank you so so much for starting our Monday morning with these. xo
A burst of creativity to start the week can’t hurt, right! Have a good week Amy!
I think my fav. is the stenciled family sign…LOVE it! I’ve got an all day crafting party coming so I may have to try this one. Any helpful hints Rosa? =)
After visiting the Damien Hirst exhibit recently, we decided to put together our own dot art. That whole punch idea may be just what we needed!
Great roundup! I might have to try that dot punch art with Chloe.
Thanks Jen! Would love to see pics if you do!
I love Alisa Burke’s art- when I read that she used shoe polish I was floored! Her blog is a favourite, love the peeks into her drawing book!
I have so many blank canvasses at home, need to try a few while we have such a long spring break!
Definitely Barbara! Maybe a mom and daughter painting party!
I saw Lindsay’s masterpiece last week but all the rest are new and totally drool worthy / thanks for the round up of stuff I need to pin and bloggers I need to check out! That black shoe polish one is so awesome and the circle punch!!!
YOu’re right Rosa, it could be a great project while the kids are at home. Beautiful and creative work!
Love Lindsay’s piece! And the boldness of David’s piece is stunning. I feel that it’s the size that makes this piece sing coupled with white walls… may not be as impact-full in a smaller format though. Talk about impact though; Alisa’s typographic piece is fantastic!
Great finds

Quote from my favourite e.e. cummings poem – looks great in shoe polish!
I love that first one – it’s so pretty. If you hadn’t mentioned the black, I’d never have guessed!
I really love the first one, well I love them all really. I’ve got a bit of my own DIY art up my sleeve too!
Great post Rosa.

Oh fun! I can’t wait to see what you’re up to Jodi!!
Great ideas! Love the bedroom one! Can’t wait to see more
Love all these pieces of art
Artwork is so much more meaningful when you create it yourself. I finally got up the courage to put paint to canvas, and I’ve been painting up a storm ever since. It’s so much fun!
I’d never think to paint a canvas black before starting to create a painting – I’m going to have to check out Lindsay’s blog post and find out why. And I love the impact that the blue canvas has – so simple, but so effective as a major focal point.
These all look great. I want to try that abstract art. It looked really good!
Shoe polish?? Love it!
We are thinking giant one colour canvas for the basement! With some acoustic whatever behind it (my husband wants to tape foam to the wall, this is the compromise)
I know! I can’t wait to see your art project Shannon!
Just stumbled upon your blog and fell in love with it! Great posts.
Thank you Jillian!
I agree, there has been heaps of great d.i.y art popping up. Great bunch you’ve collected here!
Fun finds!
Great ideas!
