If you want to add some color and personality to your walls but don’t have the money for expensive art and frames, a DIY clay wall hanging is the perfect solution. With the combination of clay, twine and wood beads you get a very natural piece that adds warmth to a space. Due to the long and skinny nature of these hangings, they are excellent for that narrow wall you don’t know what to do with, above light switches, or even hang it on your door handle. This project is really cheap, you probably have the supplies already, takes very little time, and is kid-friendly!

How to Make Realistic Bloody Eyeballs

As a lover of halloween, making a fake bloody eyeball DIY was the perfect project. I knew I wanted to use creepy, bloody eyeballs for a couple halloween projects but when I looked online, eyeballs were either insanely expensive or they were cheap looking. Using just clay, paint, chalk pastel and some resin you have a perfectly gross eye.

How to Make a Clay and Yarn Wall Hanging

One of the easiest ways to add some DIY flair to your walls is with a clay and yarn wall hanging. My house has a lot of art in it but using wall hangings made out of macrame, yarn, clay, wire, or wood is an excellent way to make your space feel more natural eclectic. Due to the long and skinny nature of these hangings, they are excellent for that narrow wall you don’t know what to do with, above light switches, or even hang it off your door handle (if you don’t have cats).
