Idea for cheap pictures for you walls

Well kind of
I have a massive living room and the cost of buying pictures for the walls was extortionate
So I made a frame (look, it's mitred and everything
) and went to the posh curtain shop and got a remnant for about a fiver (nice thick textured material) and then stapled it over the frame
And TA DAAAAAA! I think it looks fab
I don't know whether it's OS but it cost me less than a tenner and I am dead proud of it
(I bet this should have been in the Money Saving in Your Home forum but I don't know anyone on there so decided to post in here instead sorry)
