diy wall decoration tutorial

as i was getting settled into my new apartment, i decided that the living room needs decorations. i was inspired by both pinterest and my stepmom to do these fun fabric wall pieces!

1. on a large piece of cardboard, draw different sized shapes. i traced different rectangular items around the house to do this. 

2. cut the shapes out. 

3. get different fabrics. i had a color theme of black, white, brown, and green. Joann has a great selection of little samples of fabric if you don't have any fabric at home. 

4. with a hot glue gun, start folding the fabric over the cardboard and glue. cut extra fabric, it gets to be too much depending on the size of the cardboard piece. 

5. this is what each piece will look like when finished. 

6. before hanging the pieces on the wall, make a rough design of how you want the pieces to fit together. this helps so that you will get an idea of how you want the final product to look.

7. the final product does not have to be exactly like the draft!

8. you're all set to go!
