Have you found yourself stuck, spending countless hours pulling off aging, sticky Disney decals from your 12-year-olds wall? Are you looking for a new (less painful) way to decorate your soon-to-be teen’s room that’s easy to update and doesn’t involve a single broken nail?
Look no further, the string tree wall mural is here!
What you need: pushpins, yarn or string, thimble
What you do: Make the Outline: start arranging the pushpins on the wall in a “tree-like” fashion--don’t worry about being symmetrical or perfect or even--oftentimes trees grow more crooked than straight, anyway.
Wrap the String: Wrap the brown yarn around the push pins- trunk first, then work on the branches one by one. It’s a good idea to use the same pin several times.
Add Character: make knotholes by wrapping the string in a circle, vary the size of the branches and space between--add pictures at the ends of branches, get creative!
Starting and Stopping: If you need to run to the bathroom or answer the door in the middle of the project, simply pin the yarn to the wall and wrap it a few times to maintain tension. Don’t forget to come back! (:
