The hardest part is measuring and getting spacing even.
A ruler and a level help immensely.
Valentines is coming up and love is in the air.
Can you feel it?
Its Leslie from Pink Stripey Socks.
We recently took down our Christmas decorations and Ill admit, I felt sad seeing our bare walls.
Luckily, I had leftover red contact paper from aDIY Toadstool Chair Project.
So I used it to make quick and easy DIY wall decals.
This is a greatValentines Day craft for kidsthat they can do for their room.
Heres how thisheart craftwas made.
It was easily removable from my wall.
However, all walls and all paint or different.like do a test!
Step 1: Trace or draw a heart onto a cardboard scrap to make a template.
Cut out with the scissors.
Step 2: Figure out where to place the wall decals using your measuring tape and level.
Use masking tape to mark where the hearts should go.
Not going to lie, this was the hardest and most time consuming part.
I wanted an orderly design that spanned the entire wall.
But, Im not a patient crafter.
Hubby and I started off using a measuring tape and level to figure out where to put each heart.
it took awhile to verify the measurements were correct.
So after we marked a couple of spots with masking tape, I ended up just eyeballing the rest.
Thats why my pieces of tape arent exactly in straight lines.
But I dont mind one bit.
(If youre a precise kinda crafter, then by all means measure away!)
Step 3: Trace your heart template onto the back of your contact paper.
Then, cut out a ton of hearts.
(I cut out 40!)
Step 4: Peel and stick the heart decals in place.
I started off in the middle of the wall and worked my way outwards.
I thought this would help me make straight lines and even out the spacing.
The contact paper shouldnt be hard to remove from the backing.
However, there are a few options if it wont easily remove:
Tada!
Now we have a heart accent wall that really stands out and didnt break the bank.
My son and I love the way it looks.
Hubby is still on the fence.
But hopefully hell grow to love it soon.
Love is in the air!
What do you think of my DIY wall decals?
Happy making, friends!
