To pin a single photo, please head to the original source to pin, do not pin the picture from my blog.  Please give credit where credit is due.  You may not pin the collages from here as they do not contain all the sources to the original photos.

Fabric

A fairly inexpensive material to use, you can find scraps at the fabric store in clearance bins or even as fat rolls for quilting.

Burlap

A popular and inexpensive material, this one is easy to work with and also easy to find.

                                    1.   Pottery Barn Kids    2. Dixie Delights    3.  Two Twenty One     4.   Frantz Featherings        5. Just a Girl

 

 Miscellaneous Groupings

Calender pages,  baskets, free botanical prints online or from a book, paint by numbers, mirrors, ceiling medallions and empty frames spray painted or multi-colored can all be grouped together to create a collage that’s interesting and cheap.

 1. Apartment Therapy  2. Unknown 3. Dimples & Tangles  4. Country Living  5. Life of Blue  6. House and Home  7. Traditional Home

 Simple things like silverware, keys, doilies and even toilet paper rolls can all be turned into artwork.

 1. Sistas Procrastinate in Style   2. House of Hepworths   3. Trey and Lucy  4. Little Lovelies by Allison   5. Apartment Therapy

Maps

Another cheap or free source, maps are hot, hot, hot right now.  Check your thrift stores and garage sales for old atlases, books or maps.  You can also print some maps out free online.

 Books

Garage sales and thrift stores are great places to find cheap books.

Kids Art

What better to display on your walls then your own in house Picasa’s art?  Children love to create art and they will love it even more when you display it proudly in your home.  Using wires, clothespins and frames, it is easy to switch out the art work with seasons or stages.

                                                                     1. Pure Style Home   2. unknown   3. Clean and Scentsible   4. ikea

 

Here are a few sources for free online printables:  Vintage Printables      Graphics Fairy Queen     MaybemeJ

    How do you get “invited” to view someone’s blog? “Life of Blue” won’t let me in to see the grouping of mirrors. Would love to pin from original poster – but what a bother.
