Making Beautiful & Creative Wall Art Decor From Thrift Store Items

Have you ever walk into a store and see a piece of wall art decor and just fall in love with it but then see the price tag attached and just have to pass?  Well, with a little creativity and shopping at a thrift store, you can make a beautiful piece of art to hang in your home that will be one of a kind!

People always say, "Oh, I can't do that!"  Yes, you CAN!!

When you shop at a thrift store, you can find many items to create a really unique piece of art for practically nothing!  Just because an item may have been used for one specific purpose, doesn't mean that you can't change it to be used for an entirely different purpose all together.

For this project, I found a really nice wood candle plate and some glass beads at my thrift store.  Total purchase was $2.  Went to my local hardware store and purchased a tube of clear silicone and picture hanger....off I went to create my new piece of art!

Don't be afraid to be creative or make a mistake...sometimes your mistakes become your greatest designs!!

First, I attached the wall hanger to the back of my wood plate so I will be able to hang it once I have finished.  You can also use an old picture that is framed for this project. Play around with your glass beads and create a design that feels good.


                    Attach your beads with the silicone being careful not to put to much silicone on each bead.

  

                              Once you have attached them all...let sit to fully dry for a few hours.


                                    All finished to hang and enjoy!!  This project only cost $4.59!
