DIY Wall Hanging with Oly*Fun®

Categories: Decor, Oly*Fun, Summer

Create your own colorful, on-trend DIY wall hanging using strips of Oly*Fun®. This simple project is quick and easy to make, and is a fun way to freshen up your decor for summer. It even becomes a unique way to display photos and mementos, making it a great DIY for dorm rooms!

What you need to make this project

Materials: Oly*Fun™ Craft Pack in Kiwi; Oly*Fun™ Craft Pack in Bubble Gum; Oly*Fun™ Craft Pack in Sea Green; Oly*Fun™ Craft Pack in Orange Crush; Dowel rod; Suede cord or string

Supplies: Rotary Cutter; Self-healing cutting mat; Ruler

Instructions

Step One

Spread Oly*Fun™ on cutting mat and begin cutting into strips. I cut 6-8 strips of each color, measuring ½” wide by 24” long.

Repeat with remaining colors of Oly*Fun™, or until you have about 32 strips.

Step Two

Select one strip of Oly*Fun™, fold it in half and set dowel rod on top, near the loop.

Step Three

Pull the tails through the loop and give the knot a light tug to secure it around the dowel rod.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you’ve added as many Oly*Fun™ strips to your dowel as you like. I left about an 1½” empty at each end of my dowel rod.

Step Four

Cut a length of suede cord and tie to each end of the dowel rod. Now your Oly*Fun™ wall hanging is ready to display!

If you’d like to use your wall hanging as a display, clip photos to the strips using small clothespins.

Optional: You can give your wall hanging a different look by trimming the ends of the strips into a triangle, a banner shape, etc.
