Every time I go into an Urban Outfitters store, I am immediately lured to the section of wall tapestries. I stand there and stare at them, then go home, look them up online, and wonder if I should order one. I love wall tapestries, which can transform the look of your entire bedroom with less permanent consequences, but they’re pricey, and I can never justify the money. Wall hangings in general are awesome pieces of decor. They can breathe fresh life into a boring bedroom, and they’re especially great for dorm rooms, because they aren’t causing damage and they still make a big difference. But if you don’t want to spend the money, why not make some DIY tapestries of your own?
It sounds crazy, but DIY wall hangings and tapestries aren’t as difficult as you think. Plus, the end result is worth it if you’re trying to make over your bedroom or if you really want your dorm room to look more cozy and inviting. Before you drop over 100 bucks at Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie, try making your own wall decorations. They’re extra special that way! If you’re creative and crafty, these will probably be a breeze, but if you’re more of a beginner, some might be on the tough side. Pick what works for you and start experimenting. Here are 18 DIY wall hangings and tapestries that can transform your entire bedroom.
1. This is a tutorial for a DIY printed rug, but doesn’t it also look like a tapestry? You can totally make it into one! Just hang it on the wall instead of putting it on the floor, and you’ve got yourself a gorgeous tapestry.
2. Use canvas and a wooden stick to make a little wall banner that says whatever quote or phrase you want on your wall.
3. Play around with some feathers to create a smaller, super boho wall hanging. It just gives a touch of earthy decor to your bedroom.
