How to: Paper Swallows Wall Decor

blogg

I came up with a quick, easy, and cheap-o solution for my decor and decals craving.   I saw these set of birds as wall decor at Target and I was real tempted.  But it was all plastic and came with a ton of pushpins so it was a no-go for me.  Plus, I didn’t want to spend any money on home decor when my stay here at this location is decided on a month-month basis.  So here are some examples of wall decals I’ve been drooling over:

There are tons more but I’m trying to make this a quick blog to get on with my errands so that’s just a teaser for you.  I combined the idea of wall vinyl decals & the 3D plastic birds from Target to come up with these paper swallows.

Easy Peezy Instructions

  • paper scraps- try to keep it eco!  I used only one brand new sheet of black paper.  The rest were from scraps I saved.
  • double-sided tape
  1. Trace or freehand out image of your choice.  I just googled and traced mine.  teehee*
  2. Cut them out.  I slightly curled the wings on my swallows to give them a 3D look.
  3. Slap them randomly on your walls.
  4. Tah-dah!  Told you, easy peeeeezy.

We’d love to see your walls so upload your decor pictures on our EcoMonster facebook page!
