Are you looking for modern LDS art? I am so excited to share these Free Modern Prints for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with you guys!
I love the way this modern LDS art looks on my wall! I am trying to be more intentional about my decorating. I realized that I have a lot of mindless, unimportant nic-nacs, and pictures and decor that really doesn’t mean anything to me or my family, but they are cute, so I hang them up on my wall.
I have come to realize that if I have things hanging on the wall, I want them to be things that are important to my family- I want my kids seeing things every day that have a purpose behind them… And it’s a win-win if they aren’t ugly! Haha! Â
Since I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I decided to hang up some important documents that my church uses. I wanted something simple, and clean looking, so I designed some modern prints of the Articles of Faith, The Family Proclamation, and The Living Christ.
I also printed this temple print that I found on the media library at LDS.org. Did you know you could find all sorts of free LDS art on the church’s website? Pretty cool!
I recently put a large engineer print in my daughter’s room, which was really cute, but I new I wanted a more modern farmhouse look, so I had my husband build some simple farmhouse frames for me.
He used basic 1×2 pine lumber and built these awesome frames that were really inexpensive! You can get those building plans here if you are interested. You can also use inexpensive poster frames like these from Amazon.
The modern LDS prints on my wall are 24×36, and you can print them anywhere that prints blueprints- like Staples or even Costco or Sams Club. I would call your local printer to make sure they print this big and the price, before you send your files in to be printed.
BUT- these prints DO NOT have to be printed big! You could print them as little handouts for your young women, or as a full sheet to fit in a binder. The size is completely up to you!

HOW TO PRINT
- Download the Prints
Click on the links BELOW the image of the print you want to download. They will download directly to your computer.
Please note: The temple print was one I found on the media library at LDS.org. I would share it here, but it’s best if you download images straight from the Media Library. Make sure if you are downloading from the Church’s website, you are downloading the PRINT version, not a thumbnail or wallpaper. To get this same look: I simply changed my temple image to black and white and lightened up the midtones a TON! I think the key to these modern LDS prints are bright pictures and really clean lines. - Send the File to the Printer
Once you’ve downloaded your files, save the files on a flash drive and take the flash drive into your print shop. Or, some print shops have an online ordering system.
You can print these whatever size you’d like. From bookmark size all the way up to something to hang on your wall, it’s completely up to you. The size I am holding in my hand (pictured above) is a 5×7. Please note that some sizes will crop.
For the prints hanging on my wall, I ordered 24×36 inch prints. If you are printing this as a smaller print, you can just print it on your home printer! - Frame the Prints
You can get my building plans here for the frames we built if you are interested. You can also use inexpensive poster frames like these from Amazon.
Good Luck!!!

******** THESE PRINTS ARE TO BE USED FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE PRINTS TO SELL!
If you would like to print these for your Sunday School class, or youth group, please feel free to make as many copies as you’d like. I am sharing these prints for free in hopes that people will use them for good, not to make money. If you are making something to SELL, please do not use my prints. Thank you.
New Restoration Proclamation?
I have had a lot of questions if I could offer the new restoration proclamation as well. Unfortunately, the church will not licence me to use this document on my website. So I will not be offering that document here on my site.
I have also had to remove the youth theme downloads, so if you are looking for those, they are no longer available. I am so sorry, but I hope you will enjoy these prints.
If you liked this project, I would love if you would share it or save it to your Pinterest board for later! You can hover your mouse over the image ABOVE and click the “save” button, or share this on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

Jen says
These are so great! Too bad the church doesn’t allow the youth themes or new restoration. Its strange, really. But I’m happy to print what you’ve made. Thank you!
Jennifer says
Hello! I can’t seem to find the links. It says “[download id=â€6213″]” where a link should be. Am I doing something wrong is the link broken?
Thank you!
Natalie Dalpias says
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I was having some site issues. It should be back up and running again, so you can download it now.

Cheryl says
Hi there. I really love your framed lds prints. I plan to build my own soon. So thank you for posting these. I had a question and I checked comments to see if anyone else ask this question but didn’t find it. I wanted to know if and what stain you used on your frames and did you stain them before or after you built them?
Kristi says
These are beautiful. Reading the other comments, I would also be interested in a print of the restoration. Thanks.
Lindsey says
YES! Please make a restoration one to match please!
Nicole Pullen says
I am also on here to check if the restoration one has been done! I need it to complete my set!!! 🙂
Natalie Dalpias says
I am so sorry! I wish I could offer the restoration printable, but I will comply with the church, as they have asked me not to offer it.
Thanks so much!
Natalie
Stephanie says
Any plans to make a Restoration Proclamation to match? Thanks!
Natalie Dalpias says
I wish I could, but the church has asked me not to reproduce this document. I am so sorry.

Juliet . says
I would love to do this with all three as a gift for my Mother in-law but in Tongan. Is there any way you could possibly show me how to do that? I want it in the same style as the English ones.
Thank you in advance.
Barbara says
This is absolutely beautiful! My kind of style, really. However, I’m bilingual and was wondering if you had or could teach me how I can do this in spanish??
Much appreciated!
Barbara
Sabrina says
I’m having a hard time cropping the temple pics to the 24×36 size, what program do you use? I was trying to do it in Paint, I don’t have any special programs. Any advise, thanks!
torrie says
Natalie,
Thank you for sharing, I love this idea. Do you think you could/ would put together the new YW theme in a farmhouse style??? I would love to see it and use it for my niece and daughter. Thanks for sharing your talent.
torrie says
THank you for sharing!! I love this idea. Do you think you could/ would put together the new YW theme in a farmhouse style??? I would love to see it and use it for my niece and daughter. Thanks for sharing your talent

Kristi K Pleasant says
i’m having trouble downloading….it keeps saying the file is too large! help please!
Regan says
I am having this same problem! 🙁
Katie says
I would love to do these for Super Saturday but the problem I am having is with the Temple pictures. When I go to the website and download/copy the picture and then go to Costco to print it says the resolution is bad and that my picture will be fuzzy. How did you do your print and make it work?
Liz says
These are so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing them! What color stain did you use on the frames? You are so talented!
Siera White says
Hi Natalie!
How did you lighten the midtones in the temple picture?
Thank you!
Justine says
These are lovely! Can I get a jpeg link?
Natalie Dalpias says
Hi Justine,
I just uploaded the JPEG versions, so you should be able to download those now!
Thanks!
Natalie
Michelle says
I love your posters! I especially love the temple! I can’t get it to print large because the resolution is off to print big. Any ideas to help out? Thank you for sharing your amazing talent!
Dana says
These are exactly what I’m looking for, THANK YOU! Which photo size from lds.org did you download? When I try to print the temple photo in a 24×36 it says I need a higher resolution photo. Is that due to the editing I did on it? I downloaded the wallpaper and print size, but no luck. One more question – what kind of backing pieces did you use? In your other tutorial all it says is “backing piece”. Thanks!
Natalie Dalpias says
Hi Dana,
I used 1/8″ plywood (or hardboard) for the backing. Also, just make sure you download the PRINT version from the Church’s website. If you download a thumbnail, wallpaper, or other option, it will be too small.
Good Luck!
Natalie
Lisa Packard says
Hi Natalie, We are currently trying to do this for our home. I LOVE the idea! I too am having a hard time with the temple picture and the resolution. You say “PRINT” version, but what does that mean? I see nothing on the churches website that says PRINT to download. I just see it as a JPEG I believe.
Thanks, Lisa
Tara says
I LOVE these! It’s exactly what I’ve been searching for. I have been to local print shops and all the other big name stores you’ve mentioned and I’m more confused. The blue print paper seemed way too thin and other places won’t accept pdf. Help?!
Natalie Dalpias says
I will get some JPEG’s uploaded soon, so you can choose if you want JPEG’s or PDF’s.
Thanks!
Natalie Dalpias says
I printed it on really flimsy paper. But once it was framed, it didn’t really matter. I’ve also uploaded a JPEG version, so you should be able to download that and take it to the photo shop to be printed if that works better for you.
Thanks!
Natalie
Kelsey says
These are awesome! I downloaded the temple picture and just can’t seem to get it light enough with still enough definition. Is there anyway you send me that? I’m struggling!!
Natalie Dalpias says
Send me an email and I’ll send it over to you.

Crystal says
I love these, they are so beautiful. How do you order your prints, none of the photo centers (Walmart, Costco, Walgreens, etc.) will accept PDF images?
Natalie Dalpias says
Hi Crystal,
Generally print shops will print PDF’s, and photo shops will print JPEG’s. I will try to get some JPEG’s added here soon, so you can get them printed. In the meantime, email me and I’ll send them to you. Nat@thecreativemom.com
Natalie Dalpias says
Crystal,
The JPEG’s are uploaded here on this post now, so you should be able to download these and take them to the photo shop.
Thanks!
Natalie
April says
These are gorgeous! Thanks for the prints & instructions. They look amazing the way you put them on your wall!
Kristie says
The links to the plans for the frames doesn’t go anywhere. 🙂
Thanks for setting up the downloads. This is something I want at my house for my kiddos. Important things should be read.
Natalie Dalpias says
I updated the links, so you should be able to see the directions for the frame.
