Wall art for living room (Thread painting)

I made wall art for living room with acrylic paints and thread.

This project by far is my favorite. I hope you love it as much as I adore it! 

I love abstract art and this is what I came up with!

Wall art for living room

 

I used parts of this frame to make four abstract art designs.

The words Live, love and laugh bring good feelings, so I also incorporated them in the frames.

 

Here’s how I made:

Thread paintings

 

YOU WILL NEED:

 

• A set of frames
• Acrylic paints
• Thread
• Glue
• Paint brushes
• Pencil (for drawing)

 

MAKE IT:

 

• Cut and size the chart paper according to your frame. Draw your design on it.
   
• I have three features in my drawings.
  1) Abstract
  2) Squares
  3) words
   
• Using glue (I used glue stick), stick the thread on the drawing. This part takes time and patience.
  Tips:
  1) As you go gluing the thread, press the thread on the lines to smoothen it.
  2) You will have to cut and glue the thread for best results.
   
  
• Once all the drawing is glued with thread you are ready to paint. I used acrylic paints to paint. And went very colorful using all colors.

 

Here’s a close-up of the thread painting.

   Some lovely work and very bright colours I love them. I work for a plastering company in Birmingham and although most of our work is in the commercial sector we also do some domestic work. At the moment we are working on a friends house and they have just had a new kid. Your site has helped me come up with a few ideas to help decorate the kids rooms, so THANKS

   This is so pretty and I like how you were inspired by the Bed, Bath, & Beyond picture.

    This is really lovely! I am a teacher and am thinking that with some adaptations, this would be an amazing student art project! I bet a lot of moms would hang it on their walls. Great job!
