I recreated wall art for cheap with zero qualifications – I saved myself $750 and fans say the end result is ‘gorgeous’
A DIY-SAVVY homeowner has left people amazed after making wall art that looks expensive.
She said her budget-friendly project saved her the $750 it would’ve cost to buy similar artwork from a professional artist.
According to Artelier, 3D sculpture wall art can add a “touch of elegance” to any space.
Flowers have proven to be a popular choice as they can withstand changing trends.
Rebecca (@rebsthwk) is steadily growing a following on TikTok, where she shares DIY projects.
She went viral on the app after revealing how she made floral 3D artwork for her home.
She mixed an even amount of acrylic primary blue and green paints, before adding some black to achieve the color that she wanted for the background.
To get her desired texture, she slowly added baking soda to the paint.
The price of Americana Acrylic paint starts from $2.80 on Decor Art.
Meanwhile, Arm & Hammer pure baking soda costs $3 on Amazon.
Rebecca used a paintbrush that had “rough bristles” to apply the color to a blank canvas.
She then hot glued brightly colored flowers bought from Hobby Lobby to the navy surface and placed the artwork in gold frames from Amazon.
The 24 X 36 inch frames which cost $55.99 have a 4.5-star rating.
One customer described them as “nice quality,” while another said they held their “print canvas perfectly.”
The frames that can be used for photos, paintings, and other artwork come with plexiglass rather than glass.
Rebecca gushed about wanting the artwork to “feel like a gallery” as she showed the finished results.
She had “zero qualifications” that implied the project would’ve been successful.
However, she left viewers impressed and over 385,000 people liked the video.
“I LOVE this!!! I’d need multiple for every season [laughing],” one person wrote.

“I don’t know what the original was but this one! Wow! I don’t know how it could get any prettier,” another said.
“Those are absolutely gorgeous but all I can think of is all the dust they’d collect,” a third person wrote.
“Spray with hair spray after, then easier to dust. But a can of compressed air would work perfectly,” another replied.
“Spray with a little mint to keep spiders from using them as a home,” a viewer added.
