DIY wall decor




You have probably seen this on several websites. It took me a long time, due to lack of resources in Spokane Valley, but it is done and I love how much it added to my living room. I would like to publicly thank my sister Leah for the all her help and for giving me the idea. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Wow Heidi! It looks amazing, even better than the way you described it. I love the colors. Did you use heavy cardstock or lighter cardstock? Good job!

Wow, they look AWESOME!! I love the paper that you used. Where on earth did you find such cute paper?

I a posting a disclaimer. Unless you use a hot knife to cut the styrofoam, the project can be messy, frustrating and have undeterminable outcome. If you are serious about trying this e-mail me and I'll tell you all the tricks. Also the paper was supplied by my sister but the brands were. BasicGrey ,chatterbox ,cratepaper all of them have websites
good luck
-Heidi
