Create this minimal and modern swiss cross painting with just a few supplies!
When we recently got a new bed (more on that soon!), I wanted to revamp some decor in our bedroom. In classic Homemade Ginger style, I didn't want to spend any money and decided to reuse and repurpose some things we already had. I decided to use a large frame I already had on hand and make my own version of the swiss cross pattern to bring into the room.
