Metallic Wall Decor


The aesthetic value added to a place through a piece of art pleases both the eye and the mind. When the piece of art is done by oneself using their own creativity beautifies the place even more. Even the smallest detailing used to design your personal place should be fun and your flavour is added to give a personal touch to the space. 

Let’s get started to prepare a metallic wall decor without the actual use of metal, but through wooden skewers and give a metallic touch to it using a spray paint. I am sure this process is going to fun and exciting.



Requirements:

Wooden skewers, silver/gold metallic spray paint, tiny round shape craft mirrors, glue gun and double sided tape.

Step 1: Take three wooden skewers/ barbecue sticks and place it together. Stick the 3 sticks together using the glue gun. (Apply the glue only towards back side of the sticks)

Step 2: Repeat the same step 23 times by simultaneously following the same instructions as of step 1. You’ll require 69 wooden skewers to prepare this. 

Step 3: Apply spray paint for all these sticks. The spray paint can be applied only towards the front side of the wooden stick (the glued part need not be painted as that side will be covered by the wall).

Step 4: Once the paint gets dried up you can join these 23 set of metallic sticks using the glue gun as per the desired shape or as per the one shown in the image.

Step 5: Once the entire metallic sticks are set up, you can stick the tiny round shape craft mirrors at the corner end and in between the sticks.

Step 6: The wall decor can be stuck to the wall using the double sided tape. I have used double sided tape from 3M brand which is specifically designed for sticking to the wall without creating any damage to the wall/paint. 

You can place this in the space of your choice, or create a backdrop for your sofa set or bed. This piece of art is simple and easy to make and yet gives an elegant look to your space.
