DIY framed placemat
An elegant modern piece of wall art with an eye-catching ornate design; it is airy and rustic, a look that is great for a California coastal chic aesthetic in your interiors. The minimalistic rose gold palette adds a contemporary feel to the piece’s beautiful design. It could be a part of your gallery wall, entryway decor, above dressers, or fill in any gaps in your wall decor!
Switch up the border to a gold frame to get luxe look; the shiny intricate detail will glam up your bedside corners! Make it a 3 piece vertical set to go over a thin wall. Use a circular or an oval-shaped frame! Ideas are endless! I wanted it to be the chic element of my brown/beige gallery wall aesthetic. It is stunning displayed individually or as a triptych!
Inspiration is from this wooden wall piece from All Modern. As soon as I saw this, I just knew that this has to happen! 😀 I immediately remembered where I saw a similar design to this! When I was looking cute placemats for this modern jute rug piece, I discovered placemats from Walmart/Target, which would work amazing for this! You won’t believe this DIY wall decor cost me less than $10 to make! So grab a pretty placemat and a wooden frame, and lets started!!
What you need:
- A placemat with a design! Mine, similar, similar
- 8×10 picture frame, or a canvas wooden frame that fits the placemat fully
- 2 wooden dowels (optional, if using a canvas frame). Similar
- Chalk/acrylic paint or gold paint
- Paintbrush
- Scissors, pen
- Hot glue gun
- Sandpaper (optional, if your wooden frame needs sanding). Similar
How to make it:
- Tear up an old canvas, and pull the wooden frame from it, or use an 8×10 photo frame
- Sand the frame you the paint sticks on it better (optional)
- Paint the frame, and while it’s half dry, wipe/sand away any excess paint, some color from the corners to achieve a rustic look.
- Let dry fully.
- Lay the placemat upside down and place the frame on it.
- Next, trace along the outside of the frame onto the placemat, and cut it out.
- Start trimming down the excess placemat by trying to fit it inside the frame.
- If using a picture frame, hot glue the placemat into the interior of the frame. However, for a wooden frame, as there was no base to glue the placemat, I took the help of 2 wooden sticks and glued them along the border of the frame and secured the mat onto them.
