Cheap Artwork Find: Anything You Want, on a Wall Hanging

           
Did you know that Wal-Mart’s Photo Centre can take any photo and weave it into a wall-hanging tapestry? That’s right – ANY photo. That means you can completely indulge your inner sentimentalist and transform a photo of a loved one into a fabric feature decorating your living room wall. Not sure how your loved ones may feel about that, and yes, this has the potential to be an episode of Saturday Night Live, but it gave me a brilliant idea: You can take ANYTHING you want and turn it into a wall hanging! 

Clockwise from the top; IKEA "Bild" print, "Bird Cage" wallpaper from Timorous Beasties, IKEA "Bild" poster, "Branch Out" wallpaper from Timorous Beasties


This means your favourite black and white photograph, poster, graphic or even wallpaper! I’ve even seen a Style Sheet reader turn it into a rug, by placing a non-slip rug mat under the tapestry. Above are some images I think are great inspirations, that I myself am considering...

If you've not priced them out before, wall hangings can be pretty pricey, and despite the unique appeal, limited in motif. Priced at $180, the possibilities of these are endless, and the tapestry comes complete with a rustic hanging rod with decorative finials. 

What do you think?  Would you go for this?

What a beautiful room she's made.  I love to hear when people are resourcefull and re-use what they can instead of throwing things away, and the rug what a wonderful idea!!  Thank you for passing this tip on, I think I'll get one myself
