Hey there! I’m still working on my guest bathroom this week! The last few weekends I have painted the walls, framed the mirror and built a towel hook. I put together this fun Chevron Wall Art this weekend and it was inexpensive, quick and easy…SCORE!
Here’s how I made it for about $15!
I purchased 1.5 yards of burlap and unfinished MDI letters at Hobby Lobby. With a coupon for the burlap and the letters at 30% I only spent about $7 total!
Next, I bought a 2×4 sheet of 1/4″ plywood for about $6 from my local hardware store. I cut this board down to 46″ x 18″. I eye-balled the dimensions based on the MDI letters and the space I needed it for. I used a latex paint that I had matched to the trim in my house to paint the plywood and MDI letters.
I cut the burlap down to 43″ by 15″ and made the Chevron stencil with my Silhouette CAMEO. How to make a stencil with the Silhouette. I just used a Chevron print and sized it the thickness I wanted and cut about 4 pieces over and over until it covered the burlap.
Next, I took it outside and sprayed about 3 coats of Rust-Oleum Summer Squash spray paint all over!
I laid the burlap in the center of my plywood and hammered a furniture nail into each corner. I purchased a small box of these at my local hardware store for about $2.
Now it’s time to add the letters! I used Gorilla Glue Epoxy to attach each letter. I put a large amount on the back of each letter and placed them directly onto the burlap.
I used picture hanging wire and brackets to hang her up on the wall. I purchased this kit a while back at my local hardware store and it has lots of fun hanging brackets. You can use any picture hanging bracket but I do suggest anchoring a screw into the wall for extra security!
That was it!
A large wooden sign for $15 and about an afternoon of work:) This bathroom is very small and with no windows it can feel very dark. I love how the white accents and this sign help to open it up and give it light! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mine looks aboslutely beautiful! I built it myself! I used the plans at WoodworkPlans.info to build mine – I highly recommend you visit that website and check their plans out too. They are detailed and super easy to read and understand unlike several others I found online. The amount of plans there is mind-boggling… there’s like 16,000 plans or something like that for tons of different projects. Definitely enough to keep me busy with projects for many more years to come haha ✔✔✔??????
