DIY Wall Art Using Chargers

May 14, 2013 By Barb Camp 11 Comments

 

Today I want to share a way to make wall art from a charger. I shared with you in my DIY Sunburst Mirror post that I was redoing my bathroom.  As you can see in these pictures my walls really needed some lovin’.

I had found these chargers at Target for $2.98.  When I saw them I  “knew” they would make a great foundation for a piece of art and thought they would go perfect with the colors in my bathroom.
Here’s how I did it.
I searched the internet for public domain prints that I could get for free. Here are two FABULOUS sites.
Vintage Printables
Graphics Fairy
After deciding on the prints I wanted I uploaded them to Sam’s Club and had them printed.
I went downstairs to my scrap room and found 3 12 x 12 pieces of chipboard.   I grabbed my can of Rust-oleum Brown Hammered paint and gave each piece of chipboard a coat of paint.  I love the hammered affect on the chipboard.  It adds texture.
Once the paint was dry I used a hot glue gun and glued the chipboard to the charger.
I then took my photo and using a tape runner I put the photo on the chip board.
Next I took some rope that I had in my craft stash and hot glued the rope on the edge of the chipboard.
Here are the 3 pieces all complete.
and here they are on the wall.
I love my new art with a total cost of  $4.50.
3.00 for the charger
1.50 for each photo
I had the chipboard, paint, rope and glue.
I LOVE walking by the bathroom and admiring my new art work.  I can’t wait to DIY the rest of the room.
Have you ever created wall art from something unconventional??
If you like this project, here are a couple more projects I did that might inspire you.

    Does somebody want to call the Targets to warn them a whole bunch of crafters will be coming to buy those chargers? lol. Hmmm, wonder if Target in Grand Junction, CO has those chargers on sale. I'd love to try that, what a great project, so glad you shared this. Now I'll be looking for chargers I can use for that. Have some wood round ones I found at a thrift store for 50cents each. Have to decide what color I want to paint the chargers and what pictures to put on them. Ah such decisions to make. Happy days

    The wall art is so good and beautiful pal. There's so much to learn from your art and it really inspired me a lot. Wall hangings always bring good kind of look to any room. I have a plan to hang them in bathroom to make it feel lively. Your dream for house ideas are so good.
