Check out this swallow workbench, which has been done at home and makes us want to grab our long forgotten paint-brushes.

Says the poster:
“I cut out a bunch of swallows from contact paper (if you don’t know, it’s like a big roll of plastic sheet that’s sticky on one side – it’s usually used to line drawers). I cut it to the size of regular paper so that I could put it in my printer and just print the bird shapes onto it. Then stuck them all on”

DIY: Swallow Workbench

There are bunch of ready-made vinyl wall art you can buy and paste onto your wall but if you are thinking about making them from scratch, here’s a cool DIY on how to add vinyl wall art to your livingroom or bedroom.

Apartments, however, are usually a pain to paint and then paint to cover-up your awesome paint, and an especially big pain when you move around as often as I do.

I do like having bright, interesting spaces, so I was brainstorming on creating a large art piece that I could maybe mount on the wall, or other types of removable decor, and the universe smiled on my with inspiration from one of my favorite blogs: Nest did a neat post on using contact paper to make wall decals.

With contact paper as my medium, a Tim Burton-esque / Tokyo Plastic vision of swirls, and a hot afternoon (or AC busted that weekend with temps in the 90s!), I was ready to start doin’ some art!.
