Back in this post I wrote about my dream to have the Ellie Cashman dark floral wallpaper in my house.If you don’t know what that is here is a picture:Black and White Botanical Wall Art DIY.

So gorgeous you want to cry, right?! I have wanted this wallpaper for years!

I did a ton of research, trying to find it for cheaper (to buy enough wallpaper for one wall is $260 plus shipping directly from Elli Cashman- just a little expensive for me). I figured I would post it in case someone else wanted that look for less. Here are the options I came up with:

  2. Anewall has this vintage version of the black and white floral mural (which I love! 108″x72″) for $339. They will do custom sizes and you can select wallpaper or canvas.

  3. Dreamy Wall has a sketched flowers wallpaper (55″x35″) for $49.80. For a custom image (or they found a similar look which I posted below) at 48″ x72″ it would be $89. Much better! Black and White Botanical Wall Art DIY. This project idea costs less than $5 and is super easy! I share a full tutorial for this large piece of moody floral art.

I was really excited that I found an option for less than $100 for the look I wanted! I shared it with my husband and got a firm no on it. I was so sad! But I did understand his point of view- this wallpaper is incredibly feminine (which is what I love and he hates- haha), plus I was a little concerned about how long it will feel current so I moved on and installed the ledge gallery wall. #dreamcrusher

And then I saw a post by House Lars Built where she had a free download for wrapping paper that was exactly the look I wanted! The download is huge and prints a 24″x36″ size (they suggest doing an engineer print from Staples for $7).Black and White Botanical Wall Art DIY.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it! And then I remembered a frame I had sitting in my garage that would be perfect. So I had the wrapping paper resized to 18″x24″ to fit my frame by my friend who is a graphic designer. I sent it to a local printer and it cost me a whopping $1.75 to print. Yes you read that right!!! It is on super cheap paper, but I love that I am getting the look I love for so cheap! Here are the steps in case you want to make it yourself:
