Looking for more home decor ideas, this time I have a bunch of artistic ideas to brighten and color your walls. Simple and easy tricks you do to create something beautiful that you can also give it as a gift to someone. I am also doing a DIY home project this weekend to create the mid century wall decor one I previously posted in the DIY home decor section. Anyway, pin your favorite idea and enjoy making it!
1. Hang up a scarf.
Granted, you should pick a scarf that looks like a piece of art, like this one, and make sure to iron it before you hang it up. But you could also frame it.
2. Use masking tape to create a geoemetric, abstract painting.
Paint a crazy colorful random design on a canvas, use tape to make a herringbone pattern, paint over the whole thing in white. When you remove the tape, you’ll get something like this. (The image shown is an actual art print that you can buy.)
4. Wrap cute fabric around a rectangular piece of styrofoam or wood and staple in the back.
6. Cut circles out of poster board, spray paint, and glue onto a canvas.
7. Create a magnetic Scrabble board and have an ongoing game with someone you live with.
A totally cute idea if you have a roommate.
9. Attach fabric to your wall with liquid starch.
Peels off easily if you live in a rental. You’ll want to use a heavier fabric, like upholstery. Get the full directions here.
10. Hand paint watercolor pixel art.
Amanda Wright of the blog Wit and Whistle turned a photograph she took in Iceland into a watercolor pixel painting.
16. Make a display with shoe boxes.
Spray paint the inside of a shoebox to display lightweight items.
19. Create constellation art with string lights and a canvas.
Poke holes into the canvas in a random constellation pattern and then stick the bulbs of the string lights through the holes. Get the full directions here.
20. Paint coffee stirrers and arrange into an art piece.
This kind of qualifies as legitimate art. Get the tutorial here.
28. Run crayons through a hot glue gun to create a colorful, textured masterpiece.
Use up all those broken crayons you might have lying around. Warning: this is a bit of a malodorous project.
30. Make a vertical hanging succulent garden.
Succulents survive with very little light and water. Get the directions here on how to make this.
33. Turn leftover wine corks into wall art.
Now you have an excuse to drink even MORE wine. Get the tutorial here.
34. This faux-cast-iron is actually made from recycled toilet paper rolls.
Get more info on how to create this here.
35. Hand stamp a geometric print.
The use of potato stamps gives this design a cool color variation that makes it interestingly imperfect.
36. Make a wall clock with Instagram photos or Polaroids.
38. Move around a lot while taking photos.
It’ll create blurry effects that are great for blowing up and printing out on paper.
