Nothing motivates us better than a powerful quote — especially quotes about creativity. They can help us get out of bed in the morning, push us to reach our goals or, most importantly, put a smile on our face. If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably collected a Pinterest board full of memorable pop culture one-liners, clever sayings and inspirational proverbs. But we think a better way to keep positivity top of mind is by having the evidence all around you, which is why we’re swooning over these 8 creative DIY projects to turn your literary quotables into one-of-a-kind works of wall art.
