Easy DIY Iron Wall Art!

Take a good look at the picture...what do you see...A beautiful metal wall art...
scroll down to find out how to do this super  super easy wall art...  :-D

Step 1: Take a good look

Gotcha! Tell me the truth....you came to the next step thinking this is metal right?? ;-) well you are wrong!
This is simply a wooden frame and CARDBOARD!!
you don't believe me..read on...
I have entered it in the cardboard contests...and I know  there are some excellent entries...and I probably don't stand a chance among such excellence....but still....if you like it ...I would like your vote for the cardboard......it would just make me feel happier and you would have a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart for making someone happier :-)

What you need to do this project is
toilet tissue roll
cardbord
scissor
black spray paint
3/8" wooden slats
pencil to twist the strips with
Styrofoam to pin the form on and pin

I think this idea was originally done in 'suzy's sitcome' but ...but I have seen other variations too...how ever...I felt they could have more instructions in them...so I have added my own two cents worth of instructions here...hope you enjoy :-)

I actually made wall art like this, you can actually get some pretty cool stuff though, however if you use hot glue, it hurts like who-knows-what for a second if you get it on you though, but still fun to make either way. :)

Also, I just went ahead and made my own design for it.

Great! Let's see it!
And yes.....Hot glue is very painful ... I've had the experience once too often!

Thank you.

I had been trying to make some of these (without the frames), but they weren't turning out so well! Your tip on the styrofoam and pins is SO helpful! Thank you so much! I have voted for you! Do spray them while still pinned to the foam? And does that stiffen them enough to stay curled?

[shazni]

Thanks for the vote.... And you are OH So Welcome!
No... Once the glue dries ..... Simply remove the pins and spray. You can stack one on top of each frame and spray... That way the bottom frames will get some spray too!

[tdc2202]

By the way, your designs are beautiful!

[shazni]

Thanks! But I think the credit goes to whoever created it first! I simply googled and copied... Haha
