Simple idea for the wall

Lorena creates a wall decor from the small cardboard boxes, usually used as gift boxes.

"I purchase this little sets of round cardboard boxes at Ikea and I made this wall decoration with them, they were cheap and easy to attach to the wall with a little pin."

  2. Anonymous, that's just plain mean and unnecessary.
    I think that art is really cool - perfect for a bedroom..

  4. What a good idea. You could glue little things like small pebbles or coloured dice or contrasting scrunched up paper inside the boxes.

    PS Just ignore anonymous. If they can't post in their own name, they are truly not worth worrying over.

    Sometimes there are hacks or ideas on this page that I'm not as fond of, but hey! would be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

  6. That's cool! What it needs is some more stuff in the room to pick up some of those colors.

  7. Any little thing that shows your own creative touch makes a home fun, and NO ONE should dis it - especially if they don't have the balls to own it!

  10. Well, I like it. It has great radial symmetry.

    I love those little boxes! I even made a movie about them: http://lloydandlauren.com/2007/04/30/stop-action-week/

  11. I think that is very clever. I love anything with circles. The upcycling of the gift boxes is totally in keeping with the times.

  13. I think it's a great idea, but something is bugging me about it. I think the proportions are off? It just seems a little too tall and not wide enough for the space, a little unbalanced over the couch.

    It's very creative and I like the colors!
