Artwork does not need to be purchased from a pricey gallery in order to hang prominently on your wall. Using scrap wood and a reverse stenciling technique, allows you to make wooden sign sayings for wall decor. Reverse stenciling is done by placing an image on your paint surface, painting over it and then removing it to reveal the image shape on your sign. Expensive stencils are not needed to create inspirational or whimsical sayings for your walls.
Make Your Own Wall Decals From Fabric
If you live in an apartment where you can't paint the walls, or if you want to spice up a room without any commitments, you can make fabric wall decals. Using cornstarch as a paste means cleanup is easy once you are ready to remove the decal---just pull the fabric off and wipe clean with a sponge. Brighten your walls and add flair to your room in just a few hours. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate Walls Like a Restaurant
Many restaurants are decorated from floor to ceiling with items that help set the mood and ambiance for your dining experience. Family chains such as Applebee’s (applebees.com) and TGI Friday’s (tgifridays.com) decorate the walls with everything from antique sporting gear to historical photos. Turn the style used in your favorite restaurant into a template for decorating a room in your home. Does this Spark an idea?
Make Large Sunflower Wall Decorations
You can add a brilliant touch to any room with large sunflower wall decorations. These feisty flowers not only make a great addition to the kitchen, but they can also brighten up a bedroom, breakfast nook, home office or living room. These glorious flowers also look great en masse, with a variety of sizes and fabrics showcased from the wall.
Create Dinosaur Wall Decorations
Most kids go through a dinosaur phase, totally captivated by every lumbering Brontosaurus and ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex they see on TV or in picture books. To take advantage of this learning opportunity, consider making some large and colorful wall decorations for your child's room or a basement play area. Because these dinosaurs are fun and fairly easy to create, you might want to make it a family affair and enlist your kids to help with the project.
