DIY: ALPHABET WALL-ART / HOOKS
Ola! I'm very happy to share my recent DIY project with you. Functional and fun, this alphabet wall-art cum hooks project took me 1 hour to finish.
Price tag - £24 / Rs.2400
To start choose the alphabets ( I.e. HOME, LOVE, SUMMER, OOTD are a few ideas you can look at while deciding to create this wall-art for yourself). Choose words with 4-6 letter to be able to make it in a pocket friendly budget)
Here's what you will need
~ Alphabet hooks ~ Measuring tape ~ Pencil ~ Metal screws ~ Plastic wall plugs (insert these in the holes before you fix the screws) ~ Wall nail ~ Screw driver ~ Wall drill
To help you understand the process better I've shown step-by-step photos of how to go about fixing these alphabets onto the wall.
Process
Decide the wall you would like to install this art on. Measure the width of the wall to decide the center point and mark it with a help of a pencil (you can erase these marks with an eraser post the installation is finished). You can also install the art on one side or in a corner of the wall (it totally depends on you and what your home/ office space allows you to do with it). After marking the center point decide the distance between two alphabets. I have kept 10 inches between all alphabets. After making the distance, mark a line joining them to make sure you install the alphabets in a straight/ parallel line to your floor/ ceiling. Now mark the holes of each alphabet with a pencil. With the help of a wall nail and a hammer create a small hole in the center of each hole mark. Drill holes with a wall drill, insert plastic wall plugs in each hole to give enough strength and support for the screws and the alphabets. You want to do this process from the middle and go outwards. Hope you will enjoy creating this in your home or office to make your space look cool and functional.
Don't forget to tag me in your wall-art photos coz I would love to see what you have created. I think I've covered everything you need to know, but still if you have any queries feel free to ask me. Happy DIYing!!
