1. Vinyl canvas

Set a woodland scene with this striking monochrome canvas, made from black and white vinyl. Start by covering the canvas with a piece of black vinyl and sticking down firmly.

Try your hand at this no-sew fabric wall art idea - perfect for a cosy craft corner or a kids' bedroom. Simply pop the piece of fabric into the hoop and secure with PVA glue around the back edge. Cluster several hoops of different sizes and fabrics together for a striking focal point.

4. Polaroids frame

This Instagram-inspired design is great for displaying your photos in a fun and quirky way. Simply print the image and cut into a square shape, before mounting onto shiny white card to create a polaroid look-a-like. Use glue to attach string or twine behind the mount in the frame and hang your snaps onto the string using adorable miniature wooden pegs.

Use a large hole-punch to make a series of circles in the various shades and glue in place onto white card, starting with the darkest hue at the bottom and working up to a paler shade.

7. Butterfly frames

Give your bedroom walls a pretty makeover with this professional-looking framed design. Follow our cheat and cut out butterflies from a wallpaper sample, then stick in place with a dot of glue. You can play around with scrapbook papers for the backgrounds, too.
