Easy Chevron Print - FREE

Hi there! Dropping in quickly today to share an easy decorative craft idea.

As you probably have noticed, chevron prints are all the rage right now. I see the design on everything from rugs to skirts, and pillows to headbands. It's everywhere!

I was looking for a print to put in an empty picture frame I had, and I thought adding a touch of chevron to the kitchen area would be fun for Spring.

A quick Google search and a couple minutes later, I had this:

I promise you, I am not a wizard at creating art, or using art programs on my computer, so I guarantee you, this is SUPER easy to do.

First, Google "Chevron backgrounds."

A huge choice of colors, sizes, etc. will appear in Google Images. Choose the one you like and right click on it to save it to your computer.

Then open the image in Picasa (if you don't have Picasa, it's a free photo-editing program from Google and very easy to download).

Once you have the image opened in Picasa, click the "Text" button on the left hand side.

Type a letter, monogram, phrase, last name, whatever you'd like on the image (I used Bookman Old Style font), and adjust the size to how large you want it.

Then save your image and print off whatever size you'd like to display.

It's that easy!
 I hope I've inspired you to add some fun chevron to your Spring decor.
Happy weekending everyone!
