How to make your own geo wall jewellery
Create with paint! Projects from habitat by Resene
Brighten up a dull wall space by making your own wall jewellery. Go wide or deep to suit your wall space.
This can work for interior or exterior spaces – outside use timber to paint onto instead of thick paper.
You will need
- Cardboard/thick paper – make sure it is thick enough so it doesn’t curl once painted
- Pencil, ruler and scissors
- Resene testpots in your choice of colours; Nikki used Resene Pioneer Red, Resene Apple Blossom, Resene Paper Doll, Resene Cod Grey and Resene Gold Dust
- Resene testpot brush
- String and short branch
- Clear tape
Instructions
- Create geo shapes and cut them out.
- Lay the shapes out into the order that they will display and then paint them accordingly. Leave to dry.
- Take two pieces of string and hang from the branch. Create a handle on top as well to hang it up later.
- Use the clear tape to fix the shapes onto the string.
- For extra effect, dot along the edges and in the middle of some of the shapes.
- Hang up your handmade wall jewellery.
Top tip: Try using other shapes for a softer look – circles, clouds and other organic shapes all work well.
