Freshen Any Room Decor With A Wall Hanging

Freshen any room's decor with a new wall hanging. It is an easy, simple and affordable way to update for any season.
 
A freshly painted living room was a task done this year that initiated a desire to also freshen some home decor for the upcoming Christmas Holiday.

I was looking for a completely different look in the room and that also entailed a whole new feel with the room decor.
 
New updated covers for the furniture, new area rugs for the floor and now it's time to freshen the wall decor to finish off the room.
 
The search was on...let's see what I found.

Ideas Overflow On The Internet

With the popularity of Pinterest, I have been watching for some new ideas for this holiday season.
 
I wanted something a bit different but affordable.
 
I am a DIY’er so I was looking for something easy as well. It would also be an extra perk if I already had the materials in my every growing craft stash.
 
The ideas have been flowing and a few caught my attention. By tweaking a few of the details I have come up with my own look and feel to pull the new room together. This particular project was to update and freshen up my Christmas decor but this idea can be used year round with just a few changes.
 
With just a few simple, easy steps using basic tools this can be done within an hours time.

The materials are affordable and you may possibly have some of the supplies lying around your home, even if not they are easily accessible in any craft store or even dollar thrift store.
 
I hope you like what I created and encourage you to create one for your home decor this season as well.
 
Once you have all of your materials together it should take you no more than an hour to complete from beginning to end to get this fresh new decor or your walls, shelf or mantle.
 
Have a peak below and see if this is something your might be itching to do. If so then I only ask one thing...please come back and share your creations with us. Deal?

Wall Hanging Project Instructions

Project Level: Easy
Time Required: 1 hour or less
Materials Needed: Decorative Themed Scrapbook Paper, Photo Frames
Tools: Die Cutting Machine, Letter Cartridge --or--
Scissors, Letter Stencils, Cutting Board
Cost: $10 or less

Gather these supplies and then let's get busy 
 
I used a Cricut Die Cutting Machine but if you do not have one available, the letters can also be hand cut.
 
Or feel free to use this project as an excuse to purchase a Cricut die cutting machine, you won't be sorry. I love mine, but now I want a bigger one and one that cuts a larger variety of materials. I have lots of ideas for its use.
 
Either way this is still a great and easy project to freshen any room for the Holiday season, no matter what season it is.
 
Enough chatter, let's get crafting...

Time to Asssemble

Step 1:

Select your paper and frames.
You may choose to have all the same background or a different background for each letter.

​I chose to use all different backgrounds.

Wanting to keep continuity with the grouping, I chose the same color way with all background papers and pick different patterns. I love mixing patterns.

I then decided to use a subtle color to create the letters with. Use whatever combination works for you and your decor.

Step 2:

​Cut your letters to your desired height in proportion to the size of the frames.
If you do not have a Cricut die cutting machine you can also use stencils and scissors to cut the letters out.

Step 3:

​

​Cut decorative scrapbook paper to fit the size of the frame.

Step 4:

​Assemble the materials. Place the cut letters onto the background paper no gluing is necessary the glass will hold everything in place.
 
By not gluing the letters down I now have the option to change up the look and reuse my letters and background papers for another project for different season.

Step 5:

​
​Complete the entire word you have chosen.
 
I chose the word 'N O E L' to freshen my Christmas decor this holiday season.

Step 6:

​
​Admire your new decor and a job well done.
