Monica of Crafty Nest downloaded free botanical prints from the internet and, in a move that's pure genius, framed them all in an old window. Get her tutorial for the project here.
Monica's filled with good ideas! Here she took an old window and turned it into a frame for a selection of botanical prints. Get the how-to on her blog, Crafty Nest.
That drafty old window you replaced can serve as an eye-catching grid of frames. A book full of botanical plates is perfect for filling up one of these. See another version of this idea
How to: Window frame and (free!) botanical illustrations
1. Choose your desired botanical images and download them here (or buy prints here). I chose illustrations that have red in them because they went with my decor, but there are many gorgeous illustrations in a rainbow of colors as well.
2. Open your downloaded illustrations in a photo-editing software program (such as Photoshop) to resize and/or crop the images to fit your picture frames.
3. If you have a high quality printer, print your images. If not, save your files onto a flash drive or CD and take them to a photocopying service. I paid $1.78 for each 11×17-inch print at FedEx Office. Use a paper trimmer to trim to size.
4. Frame each print and hang them on the wall. Easy peasy.
