26 Easy and Gorgeous DIY Wall Art Projects that Absolutely Anyone can Make

Hanging Yarn Art

Hanging Yarn Art
This is quite possibly one of the simplest things to make; if you think about it, all you're doing is tying yarn strands to a twig. The fun comes with picking the colors and deciding on how long or short you want the strands – I find that the irregularity really adds to the charm.

Folded Paper Squares

Folded Paper Squares
You certainly don't need to be an origami master to achieve this bold and colorful piece, just plain old folding skills will suffice. I just love the 3D effect, and if you put this in an area that catches the light, you'll get some really interesting shadows, too.

Triangle Pixels

Triangle Pixels
Ok so this one involves painting, but there's actually more math to it than there is art. There's a helpful video to show you how to pixelate your chosen image on Photoshop so that all you have to do is copy the triangles onto a canvas. Don't get too hung up about perfect lines – the blurriness just adds to the pixelated look.

Wall Prints

Wall Prints
Moroccan prints like these are gorgeous, but honestly, you can apply this technique with absolutely any pattern or shape that you like. Simply cut yourself a stencil and start tracing! You won't even need hanging art if you have a statement wall.

Burlap Canvas

Burlap Canvas
I've always liked burlap as a material because of that rustic, natural-looking charm. A burlap canvas is a cinch to make, and it's really cheap too! If you can't find a stencil of something you like, you can always just make your own by printing an image from your computer.

Wooden Map

Wooden Map
Regardless of whether you're a seasoned traveler or still making your adventure plans, world maps remain a favorite when it comes to decorating. This wooden map only requires some tracing and staining – nothing you can't handle! A fun way to personalize this is to add pins to the places where you've been.

Paper Cherry Blossoms

Paper Cherry Blossoms
These easy little paper flowers may take you back to your elementary school days; who doesn't love a bit of nostalgia? The incorporation of actual tree branches is what makes this really stand out. I'd just love to cover a wall with these delicate blossoms!

Cutout Canvas

Cutout Canvas
I am a real fan of simplicity and minimalism, and I think this cutout canvas project really is a fantastic example of that. All you really need is a bit of patience with the cutting out part – it is quite a meticulous task, but it certainly is worth it!

Wire Shapes

Wire Shapes
A bit of wire can go a long way, especially in this case! I love how the design embraces imperfect lines, and the overlapping of wire makes it look almost like a pen sketch in a notebook. If you have a shape in mind but aren't too confident in getting it right, just print out the image and use it as a guideline, and don't get too hung up on making it look perfect.

Pyramid Painting

Pyramid Painting
Whoever came up with this idea is an absolute genius. A potato stamp? Who would have thought? This is yet another painting project that requires practically zero painting skills. And the more you think of it, the wider your options become, for example, different color shades, different shapes, a mixture of shapes etc.

Paper Dahlias

Paper Dahlias
If you can roll pieces of paper and staple or glue them to a piece of cardboard then you may as well start calling yourself an artist, because that's really all it takes to make this stunning paper dahlia. Although it looks cool, I just can't bring myself to tear up a book, so I'd rather stick to colored paper for this one.

Ball Spikes

Ball Spikes
I really love it when someone sees something expensive in a store and then finds a way to make it themselves for just a few bucks. If you're not so inclined, though, luckily, the internet is teeming with these types of people who are more than happy to share their brilliance, as is the case with these stunning, sculptures. I'm considering making like 10 or so in different sizes (shorter and longer sticks) to cover a big portion of a wall.

Driftwood Animals

Driftwood Animals
I absolutely love the incorporation of natural elements like wood in home décor. This is another very simple project that really makes an impact – and as long as you can trace, cut wood and glue, you're good to go!
