Wall Art

Materials You’ll Need:

• Medium to large cable ties (black or colorful, depending on your aesthetic)
• Scissors or small wire cutters
• Wooden frame, metal grid, or sturdy cardboard base (for structure)
• Command hooks, nails, or adhesive strips (for mounting)
• Mini clothespins or paper clips (for attaching photos)
• Optional: LED fairy lights, spray paint, or decorative beads for extra flair

• Step 1: Choose a Base
  • Decide how you want your wall décor to look — square, rectangular, circular, or even abstract.
  • A metal grid panel works great if you want a clean, industrial look.
  • A wooden frame (like from an old picture frame) gives a rustic or minimalist vibe.

• Step 2: Create the Cable Tie Design
  • Start weaving or linking the cable ties to form a pattern:
  • Geometric: Connect cable ties in triangles or hexagons.
  • Grid: Arrange them horizontally and vertically for a woven net.
  • Radiant: Start from the center and fan them outward like a sunburst.
  • Tighten each tie just enough to hold, but not so tight that they warp or bend too sharply.

• Step 3: Trim and Tidy
  • Once your pattern is complete, trim off the excess ends of each cable tie with scissors or cutters.
  • If you want a cleaner look, you can face all the locking heads toward the back or align them uniformly.

• Step 4: Add Mounting Hooks
  • Attach command hooks or small nails to the back of your frame or directly to the wall.
  • If using a light material like cardboard, adhesive strips are perfect.
  • Ensure it’s stable enough to hold the weight of the ties and photos.

• Step 5: Attach Photos or Keepsakes
  • Use mini clothespins, paper clips, or even more cable ties to hang your photos from the grid.
    You can also attach:
    • Postcards
    • Dried flowers
    • Polaroids
    • Inspirational quotes or notes

• Step 6: (Optional) Add Lighting or Decoration
  • Wrap fairy lights or LED strips around your frame to highlight your photos.
  • You can also spray-paint the cable ties in metallic or pastel colors for a softer aesthetic.

• Step 7: Hang and Enjoy!
  • Mount your new décor on the wall.
  • Stand back and admire your one-of-a-kind creation — a perfect blend of industrial and personal design!

Tips:

• Mixing different cable tie colors adds contrast and style.
• Use transparent or white cable ties for a minimalist look.
• For a 3D effect, layer multiple grids slightly apart.
