I had my heart set on a set of 6 vintage botanical / fern framed prints to fill a big wall in my formal living room. I wanted a matching set that would look cohesive and calm – that would take up the large space without adding any mental chaos so the space will still feel big and calm. The catch was (1) I had a very specific idea in my head about what color the frames, matting and paper-tone of the prints needed to be and (2) I did not want to spend $300 or more – which was the average price I was seeing across all the big decor websites. So, I decided to try to make my own. I’m SO HAPPY with the result, and it cost less than $100 to make the whole set!
All you have to do is buy there 3 things for a set of 6 11X14 (framed for 8X10 prints) framed botancial prints! These are the exact items I bought to create a great, expensive-looking set of 6 fern prints (framed and matted) for under $100!
- This set of 6 prints (comes in various sizes – I got the 8X10 prints.
- A set of 6 frames. I got this 6 pack for $39 (an alternative with lighter wood is this set is great and only $35!)
- This set of 6 photo mats.
