Tumblr-Inspired Spring Room Decor 2015

Hi guys! I’m really sorry I couldn’t post yesterday. I was busy the whole day working on yesterday’s post so I didn’t have enough time to get it done. So here it is today! I’m going to show you 3 spring DIYs for your room. Here they are!

Doily Canvas Art

What you will need: 

• 5 or 6 doilies of various sizes and shapes (around $2 each at Joanns)
• A medium sized canvas 
•  Matte spray paint (color of your choice) 

Step 1:

Lay your canvas down on a flat surface (I would suggest doing this outside because of the spray paint)

Step 2: Lay the doilies out in the way you would like, and make sure they are laying flat on the canvas. 

Step 3: Spray your paint over the canvas and doilies. Make sure the paint is opaque. 

Step 4: Let the paint dry a bit. This will take about 5 minutes. 

Step 5: Carefully take off the doilies. This should leave a cool pattern from the doilies. Then lay your canvas somewhere safe to dry overnight. 

The finished product: 

   

  

   

I love how this project doesn’t have all clean lines. This gives it a cool, sort of watercolor effect. This project has a edgy and girly look to it that is really unique looking. This looks super cute on my walls in my room, and I hope you will try it out too. 

Floral Monogram Wall Letter

What you will need: 

• A cardboard or wooden letter (I used a marquee letter kit from Michaels, for $12)
• A metallic/pearlescent paint (optional)
• Painting sponge
• A paper plate or coffee filter to put your paint in
• Paper
• Colored pencils
• Hot glue/super glue
• Artificial flowers

Step 1: Take your paint and squeeze it out onto your coffe filter or plate. 

Step 2: Paint your letter with the painting sponge. Make sure to paint the inside of it so none of the letter shows through the flowers. 

Step 3: While the paint dries,  take your paper and colored pencils and draw the letter, and plan out where you want the flowers to go. Draw them on the paper. 

Step 4: After the paint has dried, put your flowers in the letter one by one and glue them in according to your draw out plan. 

Step 5: Let your letter dry overnight. 

Finished product: 

   

 

Magazine Cutout Diamond

What you will need:

• Various magazines
• Thick sketching paper
• A medium sized canvas 
• Spray glue
• Scissors

Step 1: Take your sketch paper and cut the corner off at the size you would like to create a stencil. 

Step 2: Take your stencil and cut along it on various patterns you like out do your magazines. You will need 14 triangles. 

Step 3: Lay your triangles out in a diamond shape. (Reference the picture below if you can’t figure how to do it) 

Step 4: Make sure your triangles are equally close together, and glue them down one by one. 

Step 5: Stand a few feet away from the canvas and spray glue over top of it so the magazine doesn’t peel. 

Step 6: Let it dry overnight. 

Finished product: 

   

 

Those were all of my DIYs! I hope you guys try them out, and see you next time!
