How to Make a Dollar Store DIY Boho Tapestry Wall Decor

For this project I have this written tutorial, and I also made a video that helps clarify some of the steps.  

Start by cutting one of the fringed ends off of the rug.  Use a Dollar Tree rug to create unique wall art.

On the cut-off piece, fold the cut edge over and glue it down, so that you create a nice, straight seam at the top of the cut-off piece.  Then, glue that piece onto the rug, a few inches above the fringed end that remained on the rug.  Cut the end off a Dollar Tree rug to create unique boho wall decor.

Next, remove the rubber part of the plunger.  Fold the fringeless end of the rug over the wooden part of the plunger and glue down the rug.  Use a Dollar Tree rug and toilet plunger to create tapestry art.

Next, use round objects in three different sizes to trace semi-circles onto the felt.  I used Dollar Tree burner covers for this!

Cut out the semi-circles and glue them to the face of the rug – one on top of the other.

If you don’t like this look, cut an entirely different shape out of felt and glue it to the rug!  You can do this however you want.  It is OK, I promise. 🙂

Finally, tie twine around both ends of the wooden plunger to create a hanger for the tapestry art. Create a boho wall tapestry with a dollar store rug!

With that, your dollar store boho wall decor is complete!

Modernizing a Mirrored Wall: Tape to the Rescue!

One of the biggest challenges in my Office and Guest Room Combo Makeover was modernizing a mirrored wall that screamed “hello, it’s 1980.”  OK, obviously it didn’t really scream that, but it might as well have! Of course I thought about removing the mirrored wall altogether.  But when I researched how to do that, I […]

DIY Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor

I’ve made a lot of Easter crafts over the years, and they’ve all tended to focus on bunnies and eggs.  Now I’m in an Easter carrot decor phase.  (It’s a real thing.)  Last year’s Easter craft post was this Carrot Door Hanger, and this year it’s all about the carrots, too. You’d think that I […]

Stenciled Chair Seats – A Thrifty and Fun Kitchen Chair Makeover

Office and Guest Room Combo: How to Create a Double-Duty Space

Our ‘new’ home has one more bedroom than at our last house, and because of that, we had no furniture for it.  It’s pretty tiny, but with some creative planning I turned it into an office and guest room combo space that easily pulls double-duty, making it a totally functional WIN for my family!   With […]
