Thanksgiving Decor: Part 1

Thanksgiving is one of the holidays where I like to decorate the house! In this post I’ll show you how I decorated a wall in my living room. I like to decorate differently every year and was trying to decide what to do with the accent wall in the living room. I had several packages of faux maple leaves, and decided that this year I’d create a tree! As seen below, the accent wall was plain except for a large mirror.

After about $20 worth of supplies (cardboard paper, faux maple leaves, and painter’s tape), I now have two beautiful trees! The final result is shown below. This was an inexpensive project that was completed in one day. Since the entire project is affixed to the wall with painter’s tape (I fold it over so it’s like double-sided tape), it’s easy to remove and won’t damage your walls.

So what are you waiting for? There’s still time to update your holiday decor, so go create an art piece that not only embodies the holiday, but also displays your creative genius!

Inspiring Words

Believe wall artThe picture accompanying this post is part of the exhibit mentioned in my previous two posts. You can often find art and block letters that spell out words in most craft and big box stores. Why choose those when you can create something unique? The photo on the right is actually only one-third of an art piece. I decided to concentrate only on the letters. Taking a close up of the neon letters also created a picture that has a glowing effect. Want to add inspiring block art to your space, but want it to be more creative? Try taking photos at local museums or parks that inspire you. Another option is to buy cardboard or paper mache letters from a craft store and decorate them with your own personal style. Remember, no matter what words you choose, make sure they inspire you to shoot for the stars!
