DIY Home Wall Decor

 
Okay, I must admit, I'm stingy, frugal or call it whatever you like but if I can save even a peso on a product, I'd go for it. But more than finding little happiness in saving, I love doing things on my own, using my hands and a bit of creativity (or whatever's left of it!)

So, today, I'm going to share with you the home wall decor I did myself using things I have left unused at home. I've been wanting to use these materials on something else but I guess that didn't just work out so instead of letting them lay around the house useless, I made them into something useful and cute to look at!


Here are the materials:

    Wall decor sticker
    Japan Home Center, P200
  • Wall decor sticker bought at Japan Home Center (Festival Mall Alabang and Greenbelt 1 Makati) for P200
  • Two 8x10 cloth canvas (without frame but with board support) from National Bookstore, P32.75 each
  • 2 packs of 4 pieces each metal rod you'd use to support wood or glass panels in cabinets from TrueValue, P48 per pack
  • Good ol' Mighty bond








Here's how I did it:
  • Glue metal rods using Mighty Bond at the back of the cloth canvas. Wait for a few minutes to dry.
  • Peel off flower, stem, and leaves of the wall decor sticker as directed and lay it out on the canvas.
  • Glue the finished artwork using Mighty Bond on your wall and be proud of your own artwork!




Finished Artwork

I originally wanted to do paint on the canvas I bought but I realised the oil paint costs more than a glass-framed wall decor I can just buy in malls so doing a painting would defeat my purpose of cost-saving. But I still plan to do  it, for art's sake. The beauty of this wall decor using the wall decor sticker is that I can peel it off anytime I want should I want to change the look of it or should I decide to paint on it!

Will definitely update you should I decide to go ahead with the painting!
