Dollar Tree's arts and crafts section is a treasure trove for DIY fun. Their craft stickers, for instance, can personalize any DIY project, especially when it comes to creating DIY artworks. So if the paintings and wall decor you see in shops just don't click with you, what better idea it is than to make your own unique wall art using self-adhesive disco ball stickers?
These disco ball or mosaic mirror stickers — also available for online purchase at Amazon — are small in size but you get plenty of them, so they're perfect for DIY mosaic-style artworks. Get started with one to two packs of the mosaic mirror stickers and construction paper in the color of your choice to serve as your canvas. With a picture or a crochet pattern to guide you, these materials can be easily made into illuminating pixel and retro-style wall art that can make your living space feel more like your own.
Making your disco sticker wall art
To make sure your DIY disco sticker mosaic art stands out, it's best to use dark or vivid colors as your background. Lay the construction paper flat on a table, and then have your pattern ready. Look up filet crochet patterns online for inspiration. Filet crochet designs make use of a grid, so they're a compatible guide for square mosaic tile stickers. Once you've chosen or created your pattern, print it on a sheet of paper for easy reference. Make sure the printed pattern fits the surface area of your chosen canvas. You can choose to cut and paste the printed pattern on the construction paper, or you can try to eyeball the pattern as you apply the mosaic stickers onto your canvas.
To make your mosaic craft look more stunning and flawless, work on applying the square stickers outwards to avoid problems with spacing. Start with the middle squares first and then finish with the outline. Once you've finished, frame it up, or be a little more quirky and use Dollar Tree's large clothespins (also available online on Amazon) to display it.
While one piece of this DIY wall art is statement enough, you can also try assembling a perfect gallery wall out of more DIY pieces unified under one theme. If you create a few food-themed artworks, for example, you can bring this type of wall art into your kitchen to add more statement into your cooking and dining space.
