Directions to make DIY Art West Elm Hack
First, load your paint brush with black paint and paint on lines in a swooping, random pattern. This is abstract art so just go with it and try not to be too precise!
Use your brush on both the widest and narrowest side to vary up the brush stroke widths. Lightly brush on a bit of the paint at the edges of your painted ‘stroke’ marks to give the art some dimension.
The last step is to add some Glam with gold rub n buff to the edges!
I love how all 4 art pieces turned out!

For now, I propped one up in a little vignette on my buffet table.
(My son made the black and white art in the background – adorable right?)

They came out great! I’m hoping to get to my local Michael’s! Have fun hosting! 🙂 Julia
Awesome!
LOVE! What a great little hack.
Love your hack!!
Your DIY art turned out beautiful Heather! Have fun at Michaels too – I’m sure it would be a blast to hang with you for some crafting!
I’m a huge fan of original art! I love this! and super love that your son got in on the action:)
It’s nice to read a blog from close to home, With a son and his family in Ottawa, even though you are five hours from where I live, you feel like next door neighbour. Unfortunately Michaels is still an hour away 🙁
That looks great! And you could totally customize the colour to go with any room in your house!
That’s a great idea Kim!
I always appreciate a good hack! Enjoyed getting to know you + your blog from the Pinterest Party!
Ooooh I love a good “inspired by hack”!! Looks great.
LOVE the artwork Heather! I’d so be at the Pinterest party if I lived in Ottawa! Have tons of fun!
These are so stinkin’ cool! I love a good knockoff!
Couldn’t get any easier, right? I love it!
Great DIY Heather! And congratulations – what fun a crafting day would be with you!!!
Oh super cool! And easy! Love the glam factor the gold edges bring! Wish I could go to my local Michael’s and see who’s there- but I’ve got to work. 🙁
The art project turned out amazing! I wish I could attend the party- have fun and good luck!!
