I started with a 2'x2' piece of birch plywood, which I primed and painted white (using latex paint). I used this tutorial from A Step in the Journey blog to create my chevron stripes. After a couple hours of taping, I was ready to paint on the pink (I used acrylic paint for this part). When that dried, I found an old 8x10 frame I had, and spray painted it pink as well. I used photoshop to make a quick little typography print, and just printed it on my home computer. I used two sawtooth hangers to hang the chevron board, and then used a nail to hang the frame on the board--making it easy to change out the frame, or the print when I decide too. I bent back the back of the nail with a hammer so that it wasn't poking into the wall. Total cost of this project was around $7, which was the board (I actually bought a 4'x2' board from my local DIY center, which was $14, and I was able to get two projects from that piece)

I like the pop of color. I tried this project with foam board instead of wood and it was a total fail. Since it was foam board, I couldn't use tape to make my chevron stripes. I free handed it. Maybe I'll try it again. Good job.
