With Spring just around the corner comes such a desire to refresh. All of the sudden we’re ready to open up the windows, get things cleaned and organized, and give our places a spring-ier vibe to match the rising temps outside. So why not switch out that art piece you’ve been staring at all winter with an affordable piece you can craft in an afternoon with just paper and dry adhesive?
