DIY Festive Wall Art

Tis the season to be thrifty, and while it can cost a small fortune to decorate your home just for a few weeks of the year, if you are feeling crafty you can create some stylish DIY Christmas Wall Art that will look great in any room of the home. From simple canvases and plaques to wreaths and framed pictures there are a vast array of ideas that are simple and cost effective.

Wreaths

Wreaths are one of the most traditional forms of Christmas wall art and are a simple and stylish way to add some Christmas cheer to your home. For a traditional style of wreath, then select a foam wreath that can be bought in any craft stores or florists and begin to decorate with some real or faux pine branches in a circular motion. Finish with some ribbon bows, holly, berries and acorns for an elegant festive look. More modern designs can be achieved by creating a wreath of baubles, feathers or pom poms that will look great in contemporary homes.

Natural Plaques

Natural wooden plaques are still a brilliant choice for modern and classic home interiors and can be given a festive twist in an array of ways. For a really simple design that can be made quickly and cost effectively. Get a flat, square plank of wood and add three screws or nails in a five-point star shape. Take some ribbon or twine and wrap around the nails to create a star design complete by tying the ribbon in a bow at the top of the star.

Canvas Quotes

This style of wall art is really easy to achieve, and you can get the whole family involved in the design. Take a canvas in any size or shape to suit your home and paint in your chosen background colour. If you opt for a light background you should choose a dark tone for the writing and if you choose a dark background then you can choose a light or bright colour for the wording. Decide on your favourite festive quote and either write the quote free hand (handy if you want to practice your calligraphy skills) or print using stamps or stencils. You could even include some glitter paint for added festive sparkle.

Scrabble Pictures

Scrabble tile art is still as popular as ever and you can give it a festive twist with this fabulous DIY idea. First select a box style picture frame and choose a background insert in white, black, green or red. Now use your scrabble tiles to spell out festive words such as ‘Santa’, ‘elves’, ‘presents’ and ‘tree’ or you could even intersperse with the names of your family members for extra fun. You can also include some berry, hollies or miniature baubles to your design for added Christmas cheer.
