Great Décor in a Flash
Whatever your decorating style, from formal to fanciful, wall art made with STYROFOAM® brand foam will enhance your home. Here are a few more ideas:
Papers: Cover it with scrapbook paper, textured paper, handmade paper, wallpaper, maps, travel brochures, newspapers, gift wrap, even household foil.
Photos: Create a personal photo gallery by ordering large prints of favorite digital snapshots from an online developer. Cut sheets of STYROFOAM brand foam to match print sizes. Adhere photos to foam sheets, cover edges with ribbon and hang.
Fabrics: Choose upholstery fabric, quilt fabric, scarves, bandanas, faux fur or table linens. Change your wall art every time you change your tablecloth by wrapping your creative foam canvas in coordinating dinner napkins. Wrap a square of STYROFOAM brand foam in a pillowcase for custom master suite style.
Many fabric stores sell Fat Quarters and remnants very cheaply. You might find a 1/4 yard of fabric perfectly in tune with not only your decor, but the seasonal celebrations as well. Think of a circle of sunflowers for Litha, a rectangular display of pumpkin fabric for Samhain, and wedding fabrics for Beltane, glued with lace and orange blossoms. (Do I really need to mention Yule?) Why, you could have an entire "wardrobe" of interchangeable shapes and colors for your walls! (I provided an example of a "picture" on fabric to give you ideas.)
Naturals: Get today’s eco-chic look by covering your foam canvas with textured or handmade papers and layer on twigs, bark, vines, leaves, grasses, moss, flowers, sea shells or river rocks.
Mosaics: Glue small tiles, beads and broken china onto the foam canvas, and then fill it with a grouting medium to create a lightweight mosaic.
Hang Around Awhile: To hang these custom wall art pieces, simply pin and glue a small sawtooth hanger to the top center back of each piece. Or, place reusable adhesive putty on each corner (the putty will not adhere to fabric). For more elegant effect, cut a length from luxurious ribbon and glue ends to top back corners of each piece. For multi-panel groupings, a level is an essential tool for professional results.
