25 easy DIY ways to create art for your walls.

by NATALIA HAWK

I am here today – with the help of Buzzfeed – to spread some happy-fun DIY love with all of you.

Because we all need some happiness in our lives and we don’t ALL have time to watch the FRIENDS long-weekend marathon.

Here are 25 easy, DIY ways to create some awesome art for your walls. You’re bound to see something you like in this gallery – and the best part? You can go to the shops this weekend, get some materials and MAKE IT ALL YOURSELF.

And even if DIY isn’t your thing, you can always just look at the pictures and ooh and aah over the creativity of others.

Caring is sharing.

Run crayons through a hot glue gun to create a colourful textured masterpiece.

Turn an old window into a picture frame.

Wrap cute fabric around a rectangular piece of styrofoam or wood and staple in the back.

Organise art supplies into a rainbow display.

Put those scraps of wool to good use and frame them.

Take really blurry photographs, blow them up and print on paper.

Turn leftover corks into wall art. Warning: you may have to drink more wine for this project.

Use a canvas on a hinge to cover an alarm panel or fuse box.

Use clipboards to hang pictures.

Use foil tape to create a wallpaper like design on a wall.

Use jewel cases as photo frames.

Use pants hangers to hang pictures.

Attach fabric to your wall with liquid starch.

Hand paint watercolour pixel art.

Hang up a scarf.

Create a magnetic Scrabble board and have an ongoing game with someone you live with.

Create constellation art with string lights and a canvas.

Cut circles out of a poster board, spray paint and glue onto a canvas.

A display of tiny mirrors is adorable!

Frame a fabric or wallpaper sample.

Glue wooden letters onto a canvas and spray paint.

Make a display out of boxes lined with pretty paper.

Make a really simple abstract painting.

Make a wall clock with Instagram pictures or polaroids.

Make a wipe off board with patterned paper inside of a frame.

Some people love shoes. Some people love handbags. Others have a dangerous addiction to food blogs, or golf, or collecting garden gnomes.

Me? I’m kind of dangerously obsessed with DIY. I never met a project involving photos, glitter and a staple gun that I didn’t like. My ideal world would be some kind of Martha Stewart-esque castle filled with things like jars and fabric and buttons and cardboard toilet paper rolls and GLUE. LOTS AND LOTS OF GLUE.

There would also be some kind of underground Spotlight in the basement of the Martha Stweart-esque castle, so that I could have easy (and free access). Oh, and there would be no lines with grumpy people at the front complaining about fabric thickness. Happy days.

Personally, I’m going to try the constellation art with fairy lights in image 22 next. Preeeeeetty.

And because we love being helpful, why don’t you also check out these posts:
