We all have masking tapes at home tucked away in a drawer somewhere, and now it’s time to put it to some good (unconventional) use! Geometric design is super on-trend right now, and this herringbone wall art is sure to bring the perfect pop of colour to your home. First, find a good sized canvas and select your favourite colours. Paint splashes of colour all over the canvas, and as that dries you’ll want to cut up strips of masking tape at different lengths. Then, tape across your canvas following a geometric or herringbone pattern, and carefully paint over the masking tape in black or white. Voilà! Your very own abstract art piece!

This wall craft is perfect for bringing a retro, cosy feel to your home. Depending on the frame you choose, this could be used to display photos, used as a shelf, or to hang knick knacks or small decorations. This is sure to bring an effortless, nostalgic vibe!
Heart of Strings
Perfect for your bedroom wall, or a cosy living room. All you need for this one is some nails, yarn, and a piece of wood.
