5 DIY Wall Decor Ideas You Can Try For The Festive Season
The festive season is upon us and most of us tend to overthink or struggle with decorating our spaces for a festive occasion. This actually doesn’t need to be an overly complicated or expensive affair.
With a little bit of creativity, you can turn simple, everyday materials into eye-catching wall decorations that will add colour and personality to your walls. Using natural elements to repurpose everyday items, these DIY ideas are super simple to make and can be customised to fit the relevant occasion or theme.
Read on if you don’t want to spend a fortune on store-bought wall decorations this festive season.
String Art Wall Display
This is a super easy way to add a touch of craftiness to your party décor. Start with a large piece of cardboard or a wooden board.
Outline a shape or a word that corresponds with the theme of your party, for example a heart, a star, or any festive words, etc.
Next, hammer little nails along the outline of the word or shape if you’re using a wooden board, or punch holes in case you’re using cardboard.
Once the base is prepped, take colourful string or yarn and weave it around the nails or through the holes. Once finished, hang your eye-catching string art wall display and watch as it effortlessly becomes the focal point of the room, adding a ton of style and a personal touch to your gathering.
Paper Garland Chains
The easiest and most aesthetically pleasing decorations you can make are paper garland chains. All you need is coloured paper, scissors, and some glue or tape. Next, cut strips of paper and loop them together into a chain. Play with colours to fit the theme of your party, or use metallic paper to give it a bit of sparkle.
You can use patterned paper or even custom-designed prints to add a unique personal touch to your party. Hanging these paper garland chains across walls, over door frames and across windows will give the room an instant upgrade.
Fairy Light Curtain
Fairy lights can instantly transform a space, and they’re perfect for setting the mood during any festive event.
To create a fairy light curtain, start by hanging strands of fairy lights vertically along the wall. Remember to space them evenly for a neat and well-organised look. To elevate your fairy light curtain and take it a step further, try layering sheer fabric or tulle over the lights to create that soft, glowing effect.
You can also add some delicate ornaments to the display to make it more dynamic and give it more depth.
Lantern Wall Hanging
Add a vibrant touch to your walls this festive season by creating a series of hanging paper lanterns. Use bright, festive colours like gold, red, and orange.
Cut and fold your decorative craft paper into easy yet beautiful lantern shapes. Once you've crafted several lanterns, attach them to strings or ribbons and hang them across your walls.
You can also insert small battery-operated LED lights inside the lanterns to make them glow and add that extra festive touch.
Marigold Flower Wall Garland
Marigolds are traditionally associated with festivals and more often than not they are used for decorating entrances during the festive season.
They are so versatile that they can also be incorporated into your wall décor by creating a long garland of fresh or artificial marigolds. String the flowers together and drape them across your walls, or use them to frame your doorways.
If you want something longer lasting and sustainable, opt for artificial marigolds or you can even try creating paper marigolds using tissue paper.
