The Bug Prints

Hey y'all!

I hope your week is going well. I wanted to share another project that happened in my blog hiatus this winter!

My mom gave me some loose insect prints a while back, and I've been hoarding them in a drawer since moving into the apartment. This past winter, I finally round up the extra cash to get a few of my favorites framed! I picked my four favorites and headed off to Michael's to pick out frames.

A picture of all four!

I've only gotten two pictures framed in my life - my diploma and a fish print, so I was a little lost in where to go with the colors. I ended up modeling the mats and frames around a set of monkey prints my mom also gave me (thanks, Mom)! Michael's didn't have the exact matching frame, but I really liked the antique look of the frames I chose. The mat is just smooth and off-white - nothing too fancy here!

I LOVE how they turned out. The lady at Michael's was super helpful in making sure they all looked uniform, as some of the prints were slightly different sizes and needed different sized mats. She also helped make sure that I got these done for as good of a deal as possible! ;)

Here they are hanging, where I initially put them after pickup!


I actually have these hanging on either side of the fireplace now. I hope to have a post up soon with details of how the house is currently looking!

Until next time!
