DIY Wall Art

DIY Wall Art : Hanging Plants


TtiIg_ on Make A Gif, Animated Gifs



So I had a ton of extra eucalyptus from a past project for a friend and wanted to find a nice way to use it. Thus I came across this idea. I love my white walls but felt they looked a little too bare. This really was one of the easiest projects to do. Just turn on some jams and have fun with it!


What You Need:

1. String
2. Any plant you would like (or even flowers!)
3. Scissors
4. Push Pins (not pictured)



STEP ONE

Take your plant and snip it into various lengths, I have high ceilings so I needed some pretty large pieces, but they looked nice mixed with some tiny ones. Do the same with your string. Some of my pieces were about a foot long, while others were about 6".



STEP TWO

Take your string and knot it around the plants end, double knotted! 



And thats it! Once you have the appropriate length for your wall you can use a pin to hang it up and continue on the next one. Just continue these steps until you've got your whole wall covered! 
Ta-da! All it takes is patience and you're good.

Enjoy guys!

DIY Floral Crown

I had a little bit of a panic attack when trying to find a halloween costume for myself and a few friends
 without having to spend much money. So I put on my best DIY attitude and decided to combine the
 bleach technique from the last DIY post and create some skull shirts. Then added some floral crowns
 for a full Sugar Skull look! I'm mostly just exited that in total this all cost $40 for 3 costumes, and I
 now have a floral crown that I will most likely be wearing at some point again, knowing myself. 


Down to the good stuff, I will be adding some stuff to an Etsy store soon enough, let me know
if there is anything you'd like to see.
