Went to the DIY shop near my place and bought the wallpapers and photo frames to re-decorate my To-Do list on the wall. Has been thinking about it for quite some time but always didn't get the chance to do it.
The original plan for the wallpaper is actually to do like a nice wall art with black vinyl (contact) paper, but the plan was aborted when the sales assistant told me they have no BLACK wallpaper. Oh well, i guess it makes sense haha, don't think the sales will be good if they selling emo style wallpaper lol. Anyway, i buried myself in the stacks of wallpapers to find something plain and dark as i don't think over-complicated wallpaper is easy to use. At last, i made up my mind and bought a dark wood-like wallpaper. Thought i could maybe cut out a tree and stick on the wall lol.
Soon after i picked up the wallpaper, i went to the photo frame section and look for something green and light. Green is because i want to make it looks like leaves. Light is because heavy frame will not able to stick to the wall with bluetag. Had to use bluetag cos everything i do has to be reversible so that if i have a better idea i can change whenever i like =) clever? HAHA
So these are the stuff that i bought. Spent quite some time to think about what i can do with these and wonder if the wall art can still be done. However, the final decision was to do the To-Do list instead of messing with my art gallery (Talked about it last week, please find the post under the label DIY and WALL ART).
A Tree Concept To-Do list it is! The skill-required step is to measure and stick the wallpaper on the wall. It really helps if you use a long ruler or something to help u flatten up the wallpaper during the sticking process so that no air bubble is trapped between the wall and wallpaper.
Didn't stick the whole wall because it will be too much. Don't need such a huge tree trunk anyway haha.
Next step is to work with the photo frame. Because i am going to write on the glass so the background should not be too complicated. I used my old painting and cut them into the size of the photo frame and use it as the background. Final step is to stick the photo frame onto the wall with bluetag. If you don't mind getting a hole on your wall, using picture hooks can be easier. However, you will not be able to change the layouts in the future as the holes will be permanently there. Trust me, reversible wall art is a better choice if you like trying new stuffs.
The photo frame is stuck in a way that 1/5 or 1/4 of the frame is outside the wallpaper area. This makes it look more natural as a leaf also makes the to-do list area not too dull. Imagine if you keep everything in the border, they will look neat but SAD. Think and stick outside the border!
This is how it looks like after getting all frames up.
After a little decorations, the wall came alive! The slogan "So what do YOU wanna do?" is cut out from my previous Phineas & Ferb wall calender haha. And ya, it's not perfect, because it only consist of Monday to Thursday. The main reason is that the whole corner is not tall enough to put another frame for Friday so i omitted it. But hey, Friday should be a happy day! So i guess i'll just leave it that way =) I could use post-it note to make a list for Friday i guess haha.
So, does it remind u of a tree trunk? I hope yes haha. Anyway, i'm glad that my wall is now full with colour and makes me feel happier =) Glad that i transformed my room into a creative corner!
