Easy DIY Home Decor Project - Birds in a line
A winter afternoon at home I sat and wondered what could I make to brighten up my apartment a bit. Now, I have to admit I have a knack for little projects that change the appearance of a space. I usually am not the kind of person to run to the craft store and buy stuff because most of the time I get an idea and I search for things that are already lying at home.
So this day, I gathered the following things lying around in my apartment.
1. An empty cereal box ( an empty Kellogg's corn flakes box)
2. A pair of scissors
3. Black wool from my knitting bag
4. Board Pins (we have wooden walls, so board pins are easy to put in)
5. Black Marker, Pens, Pencils
6. Scotch Tape
7. Photograph Prints
And I was good to go.
Steps:
1. Cut the cereal box to make a flat cardboard on which you can draw.
2. Draw bird shapes of 4 - 5 types on the grey plain side. Cut out some birds, trace them on the remaining card board and cut all of them out.
3. Colour the birds with a black falt tip marker.
4. Hammer / push in pins on the wall.
5. Tie black wool cut according to the lengths between pins on the wall.
6. Stick your birds with scotch tape loops or double sided tape.
7. Stick personal / family photographs in between.
Done!
Mine looked as follows:
The room looks cheerful now... and its directly opposite my bed.. so it brings a smile on my face every day morning when I wake up!
