Tutorial #3: DIY Wall Art Using Yarn & Giveaway!!

Wall art can be so expensive! Why not make your own!!  I recently moved into a new house in August 2015 and with the birth of our 2nd daughter, Callie, we are still working on making our new house our home. Our home decor was primarily dark and bold colours like, black or red, but now I am lightening things up with whites, creams, light greys and light pink (and metallic accessories, of course).

Every time I entered my living room, I didn't get the warm and fuzzies like I imagined when moving to a new house.  It was mainly due to the fact that my walls lacked something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I went searching for something soft, feminine and unique for my living room.  Then it hit me, I was at Michaels the other day and my eyes were drawn to this soft, fluffy yarn!! An image of something similar I saw online last year crossed my mind.  I decided to try it out (what I can recall from memory) - I bought yarn in grey, in white and in ombre of pink and cream.

I used a tree branch as my base, cut multiple pieces of yarn measuring approximately 40 inches.  I didn't measure it exactly as I wanted varying lengths.  Using the "cow hitch knot", I tied as many pieces of yarn to the branch that I wanted in a random colour pattern.  Then, I used a piece of white yarn and tied it to either end of the branch to serve as the hanging piece. Oh it was just perfect!!!

This was so quick, inexpensive, and matched my decor.  Bonus: it was handmade by me!

I hope you liked this idea.  Use it for your bedroom or nursery. If you try it, send me a pic I would love to see it :)
