DIY wall decor

These days I am so lazy and opt for home delivered food a lot. Hence I have a lot of those containers in which pasta and such are delivered. So I thought, why not try to make some sort of wall decor using them.

You will need, any kind of container with a transparent lid, knife, scissor, glue, sellotape, both side glued tape and most important of all, a painting/photo/collage of magazine cutouts, anything you would like to see on your wall.

Step 1: Find the container, cut out the painting/photo/paper to fit the size of the container.

Step 2: If you are using a painting or a photo skip to step 3.

If you are doing a collage with magazine cut-outs, paste your cut-outs on the paper. Add some words. Colour the free space. Use some glitter here and there. I found only a wedding magazine around, so I cut out a few which looked good to me. I wrote "Two souls, one heart."  (French saying used on poesy rings). I used pink and blue color pencils on the empty space too.



I didn't really put a lot of effort in making it, maybe you can do a better job. There could be many themes like pets, your religion, food and drinks, beauty and cosmetics etc depending upon where you are planning to hang it...

Step3: Now we need to stick the paper to the container. Stick the sellotape to the paper and the container as shown:

Cover the container with the paper and put sellotape to the other end of the paper too:

Cover the container with its transparent lid:

Step 4: Stick the double sided tape to the bottom of the container, this part goes to the wall:


Remove the paper and stick it to the wall!! That is all!!

I hope you try it too... Have a nice day <3
