She Uses Twine And Beads To Transform Cardboard Scraps Into Hanging Boho Wall Decor
Boho decor might evolve over time, but this adorable DIY is worth making no matter what's trending. This craft, demonstrated by Ayva's Homedecor on TikTok, features four eye-catching pieces of boho wall decor. You can choose just one or make all four to create a boho-inspired gallery wall with a naturalistic aesthetic. With simple materials and plenty of room for customization, this project is an easy way to add a touch of natural texture to your interior. To get started, gather round mirror tiles, cardboard, rope, twine, wooden beads, wooden kebab sticks, Liquid Nails clear adhesive, and a hot glue gun.
If you've been searching for the most affordable ways to achieve a boho-chic living room, you really can't beat this budget-friendly DIY wall decor. For the first piece, glue a small circular mirror tile onto a slightly larger cardboard disc. Starting around the mirror, glue the rope into a spiral pattern, working outward until the entire cardboard surface is covered. Leave the final outer length of rope slightly longer so you can curve it around the edge to create a looped hanger. Secure this piece of rope in place with glue. Your first DIY is already done! If you want to make more wall decor, move onto the next step.
How to make the rest of the boho wall decor pieces
To create the second piece of decor, start with another cardboard disc and glue an even smaller circular mirror in the center. Then, wrap twine around the surrounding surface in the same spiral pattern. To give this design a little extra detail, finish the outer edge with a braided rope border. Second piece — done! For the third piece, cut a slightly smaller cardboard circle and cut out the center to create a "donut" shape. Wrap twine tightly around the cardboard ring, but this time pass it through the center opening rather than in a spiral shape. It should look like a neat, ribbed texture. Then, glue a string of wooden beads around the edge, followed by another braided border.
Finally, for the fourth piece, cut an even thinner cardboard ring and wrap it in twine using the same technique. To create a sun-inspired border, cut several small teardrop shapes from cardboard, wrap each one in twine, and glue them onto wooden kebab sticks. Attach the sticks around the twine-covered ring, spacing them evenly to form decorative rays. All four pieces of decor are now complete! You're on your way to creating the trendiest boho-chic home. Feel free to experiment with different rope thicknesses, twine colors, or braided details to give each piece its own personality. You could also use larger mirror tiles and cardboard bases to create an oversized boho mirror for an entryway or foyer.
