Turn Your Claw Clips Into Wall Decor With This Unique DIY
Got an unorganized pile of claw clips taking up space in your home? You don't have to keep the hair accessories stashed away in your room. Believe it or not, you can actually turn them into functional wall decor. All you have to do is create a claw clip garden using faux greenery squares, a panel to attach the squares to, and a frame. After assembling the wall decor, you can attach your claw clips to the wall by clamping them onto the plastic greenery, creating a colorful piece of art.
This functional DIY wall art also keeps each hair accessory easily within reach and fully visible. You can grab clips off the wall to use as needed. You'll likely find that this organization method is less of a headache than having to shuffle through a pile of claw clips to find the one you're looking for. Feel free to customize the claw clip wall art however you'd like. You could glue on flowers, craft pom-poms, ribbon, and any other decor that speaks to you. The freedom to add your own personal touch to this DIY textured wall art idea is part of the appeal.
How to create claw clip wall art
To create this claw clip wall art piece, you will first need the board that will act as the foundation for this project. Do not forget to ensure that the dimensions of the board will fit within the frame you select. To make things easier, you may want to opt for poster board or a large piece of cardboard that you can cut to size with scissors if needed. The White Poster Board sold by Dollar Tree is a great affordable option. Alternatively, a piece of particleboard would provide more stability. However, you would need to have this cut to size at your local home improvement store if you do not have the appropriate tools at home.
After you have your board, you can proceed with using a hot glue gun to attach some artificial boxwood panels, such as the Odtory Greenery Grass Wall Panels, piece by piece until the board is fully covered. Consider incorporating a few of the Foimas Mini Faux Flowers or the Opseam Butterfly Wall Decor as well. This will add a few pops of color and bring that garden look to life. To add additional storage elements to your wall, you may want to also glue a few hooks on. They could be used to hang headbands, hair ribbons, and any other accessories that can't be clamped onto the faux grass. When done, allow the glue to fully cure by leaving your project undisturbed for 24 hours. Finally, attach your frame to the wall art and proceed with hanging it in place. It would also be the perfect addition to a decorative DIY gallery wall.
