Amazing Framed Chinoiserie Panels for Peanuts

Caspari Monkey Business

I love framing gorgeous wrapping paper for easy and budget friendly DIY art. My daughter Kate and I framed three gorgeous Chinoiserie wrapping papers from Paper Source for her apartment.

But this new wrapping paper from Caspari by my friend Harrison Howard is not to be missed.

Step One - Pop over to Caspari and buy this Harrison Howard "Monkey Business" wrapping paper for $6.50 for two sheets each measuring 40" by 28."

Step Two - Find a pair of frames at Ikea, Michael's, a thrift store, or wherever you like and frame. This Ikea Ribba measures 27 1/2 by 39 1/4 without the mat. Almost perfect and it comes in lots of finishes. It's $24.99.

Step Three - Admire your pair of framed Chinoiserie panels for about $60.00.

Here are a couple more Caspari Chinoiserie wrapping papers that would also be amazing framed. These both come in 5' rolls and would lend themselves to a large framed panel. If you would like to use these papers for wrapping gifts, that's fine too.
