Hi all,
When going about decorating your rented home, most of us don't want to spend or buy a lot for obvious reasons. Well, this DIY is for one such occasion. Use whats lying around with practically zero expense and make your home pretty.
What you would need :
1. Handmade greeting cards/old photos etc
2. String or decorative paper strips
3. Tiny decorative flowers (cutouts work just fine)
4. Glue
5. Scissors
I used four of my hand-made greeting cards for this wall hanging. You can use anything from printed greetings to old photos or any such memorabilia. Estimate the total length of the hanging as per your wall area. Then, place the cards on your working surface equidistantly such that the total length is your required length.
I used 6'' long brown glitter strips to join these cards as shown in the picture below (colored strings, yarn can be used too). I had some pretty glitter flower cutouts lying at home that just went along for a bit more beautification, as are visible in the image below. Any cutout, flowers, beads and many other decor items can be used. Based on the wall color or room theme, if any, the string/strips and cutouts can be altered; be crafty and give wings to your imagination.
Finally, for the hanging bit, I used the same glitter strips (string, wire can be used too). As you can see in the image below, the glitter strip has been wrapped around a 12'' long strip with lots of glue. The dried glue and the double strips make the string quite stiff and strong. To this 12'' strand I pasted one of the 6'' strips on either side which was further stuck beneath the first card.
Let the whole thing dry for 6-8 hours and it is ready :)
Your precious memories on your wall in a beautiful way...try it!!
