This articles gives some great ideas for the average homeowner for alternatives to expensive artwork and framing. There are ideas on various types of artwork that you can create yourself, as well as ways to display and frame photography and other "art" found for cheap.

Details or Sample:
There is no need to spend money on artwork or even photography that you cannot afford. There are many alternative ways to add flair to your rooms without going into debt for items that are out of your price range. You also don’t have to take your items to a professional framing store, or even buy traditional frames. You can make your artwork pop off of the walls simply by using some materials lying around your house.

Here is an easy example of photographs displayed on an old ladder with raffia wrapped around two rungs! The project requires a little bit of paint, about 20 minutes and shows off your pictures while adding height and color to your wall.

Some examples of alternative framing include:

1. Tuck pictures into the top of peg racks, chalkboards etc. Be certain to match color scheme by getting your pictures printed in a similar tone. For example, black and white pictures work well with almost any décor, but look great against a green or blue background. Sepia photographs on the other hand, look fantastic in a room decorated in warm tones such as red and tan.

2. Use on old rake top nailed into the wall to hang laminated photos and use as a sort of mobile.

3. Make a family tree from a simple branch found in your backyard. Attach the branch to your wall after painting it with a coordinating color. Simply laminate family photos and hang from the branch for a cool new take on traditional family portraits.
