5 Creative Art Projects You Can Turn Into DIY Home Decor
Did you know that engaging in DIY craft activities can help combat anxiety and stress? Giving these crafts to friends or family as gifts can help them as well. So have you ever thought about using these mood-lifting projects in your life?
Read on as we speak about 5 creative art projects to partake in at home.
1. Quilting
Quilting is a real skill. It involves taking patches of fabric and arranging them geometrically to create a large, decorative blanket. While it takes a lot of technique, learning it is rewarding.
Your quilts don’t have to be placed on a bed or sofa. Instead, you can use them as a home mural to hang on your wall. You may even create two, framing one and then laying another on a piece of furniture.
When creating a quilt for decorative wall purposes, keep any padding to a minimum. This helps reduce the weight and makes it easier to place in a frame.
2. Decorative Pinboard
This is a great DIY art project that the whole family can join in with. Start by collecting all your favorite pictures of good times. You may even have tokens of them, such as wedding invitations, flight tickets, and such forth.
Once collected you need a pinboard. You don’t have to go with a standard office bought one for this either. Old serving trays, window frames, and shabby picture frames are great options.
All you then need to do is add your pictures. Tack them into place firmly, using a hammer to hold the pins if your frame is made from hardwood.
3. Wallpapered Doors
When you wallpaper, don’t throw away your leftover rolls. You can use them as a DIY art project to add some pattern to even the blandest of objects.
Many people choose to place them over cabinet doors and side tables. You can even use them to back the inside of a wall clock, giving a unique one-of-a-kind wall decoration.
4. Coloring In
There are numerous adult coloring books now available for an easy art project. While some may be small notebooks, they extend to A4 size and larger. Some can even be prepared directly for canvas painting.
If you want to choose a large one but prefer pens to the mess of paints, then these acrylic paint markers are ideal. They will provide a professional look without the need to learn professional painting and mixing techniques.
5. Painted Tables
This can be done with any items of shabby, worn wooden furniture. Take it outside, sand it down then add primer. From here, you can transform it with colored paints and stencils.
