DIY LEGO Wall Art For Less Than $5.00

*This post contains affiliate links. Please see my Disclosure Page for details.

As you know we are getting ready to move. Well both kids are REALLY excited, because they will finally be getting their own rooms. The last few days we have been very busy painting and crafting. Rowyn's bedroom theme is going to be LEGO's and superheros. And Gwyn's bedroom theme is fairies and horses.

As you know LEGO wall art can be expensive (and we are trying to not spend a lot of money right now), so I decided to get crafty!

These awesome wall art pieces were not only super easy to make, but also very inexpensive. They cost me less than $5 each to make!

Materials:
-Lego Scrapbook Kit (I found mine on sale at Michael's for $2.99).
-Frames (another sale item at Michaels for $1.79).
-Lego Club Magazines (sign up to receive these FREE each month or you can also visit your local store and ask for a copy). I had my son choose his favorite characters/themes.
-Scissors, paper cutter, double sided tape.
-Colored scrapbook paper for matting.

Next get creative and have fun scrapping. There is NO wrong way to create these fun wall art pieces! I have plans to make a couple more (probably a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle one and another superhero one)! If you decide to head to Michael's DON'T forget about the teacher/homeschool discount.

I hope this post inspired you to get crafty!

FreeBEE Friday - Paper Dolls

If you have homeschool FreeBEEs to share

please link up at the bottom of this post!

You can copy the button from my right side bar.

Jen, from Gricefully Homeschooling, and I team up, the first two Fridays each month, to bring you great  FreeBEEs...on both of our blogs. 

PLUS...with the added bonus of this being a monthly link up...where you can showcase your freebies, things you've found online, and also, things you've received in the mail, totally FREE this month. 

FreeBEEs:

Hopefully you grabbed the great resources from both Jen and I last week! These FreeBees are still available so be sure to grab them. Remember that we are changing things up this year so we are only posting our FreeBEE posts the first two Fridays each month.  The first Friday of every month, we will be providing a link and a savings code for you to get a FREE product from some of our favorite homeschool companies. These great sponsors are offering these *Limited Time FreeBEEs* of lapbooks, unit studies, online classes, and more to bless homeschool families (you the reader)! The second Friday of every month we will have our Homeschool FreeBEE Friday Link Up.  So our favorite bloggers can link up their FreeBEE posts! This link up will be open through the rest of the month...so instead of a weekly meme this will be monthly, now.

Did you play with paper dolls when you were a child? I know I did! Have you ever used paper dolls in your homeschool? Well if you do that's awesome, if not you should try it.  Paper dolls are  great for enhancing geography and history lessons as well as including some art too! Here are several FREE websites I found where you can get FREE printable paper dolls.
