materials

DIY Scandinavian Wall Hanging

  • Card stock (in any pattern/color of your choosing)
  • Wood shapes of various sizes (Get creative! I found  a couple wood letters “O”, “C” and a wood circle banner from Michaels)
  • Spray Adhesive or Mod Podge 
  • 26 gauge wire
  • Scissors
  • Pokey tool (like an awl) for piercing 

Step

DIY Scandinavian Wall Hanging

Begin by tracing each shape on the cardstock you desire. I left a couple shapes blank because I like the look of natural wood, but you could easily create your own patterns too using a paint pen to mix things up a bit!

Step

Carefully cut out each shape with your scissors.

Spray or glue your cardstock to the wood shape. Allow to dry completely.

Once dry, steadily twist and push your pokey tool through the wood until you’ve created a hole. You will want to do this on a protected surface, as to not wreck any furniture. Be sure the tool width is big enough for the wire to go through. You will need to make a hole at the top and bottom of the shapes, depending on the design you choose for your wall hanging. 

Step

Cut the wire to the length you prefer and begin pulling the wire to connect each shape one to the other. With this particular wire, you can easily manipulate it to create knots as to prevent the wire from slipping out.
