DIY Wall Hanging Decor Idea For Holi

As Holi approaches, I couldn’t resist infusing my home with its infectious spirit.

This year, I’ve crafted a delightful DIY wall hanging decor for holi using just ice cream sticks, glue, and a touch of paint.

Beyond the traditional festivities, Holi offers an opportunity for personal expression and creativity.

In this article, I’ll guide you through the steps to create your own colorful masterpiece, perfect for adding a festive touch to your home.

Let’s dive right into the joy of Holi together and make this celebration truly unforgettable by crafting a wall hanging that matches the theme!

Step 1: Things I’ve Used To Make DIY Wall Hanging Holi Decor

• Popsicle Sticks: To make the base of the Holi decor I’ve used popsicle sticks.
• Cardboard Sheet: Being a DIY enthusiast I’ve again used the cardboard box of cake I had ordered for an occasion. I used it to align and stick the Popsicle sticks over it as a supportive base.
• Decorative thread: To hang the Holi decor around my living room for mounting purposes I’ve used a decorative Thread.
• Colors and Paintbrush: I have used regular water colors and a paintbrush to paint the popsicle sticks and draft a Holi message over it. Additionally, I’ve also used glitters to decorate the decor base.
• Hot Glue Gun & Multipurpose PVA Glue: To stick the required elements I’ve used a hot glue gun and multipurpose PVA glue.

So, after you’ve gathered the necessary materials, the steps to create your wall hanging holi themed decor is fairly straightforward (Let’s look into it).

Step 2: Cutting the Base Strip

In the initial phase, I divided the cardboard strip into two sections according to the needed sizes to fit the popsicle sticks.

Two sections were necessary, so I split them equally. These segments served as the fundamental support for the decor.

Step 3: Sticking Popsicle Sticks

Next, I began sticking the popsicle sticks onto the cardboard base individually.

Initially, I applied multipurpose PVA glue onto the cutout and affixed the popsicle sticks onto it. I placed four sticks over the cardboard base.

If you’d like to replicate this project with a more extensive base, you can increase the popsicle sticks per base to six or eight.

Step 4: Getting the second base ready

Once I had affixed the wooden sticks onto the first base, I proceeded to follow the same steps to complete the second (I had both bases prepared and ready for the next stage).

Step 5: Colorful Application

It was time to infuse the bases with vibrant colors, aligning them with the festive spirit of Holi.

Initially, I chose neon pink to coat one base, while the other received a vibrant coat of purple, creating a delightful complementary duo.

The color scheme can be tailored to personal preference, and additional bases can be crafted as desired.

Step 6: Fixing Decorative Rope

To mount the decor, I opted for a decoration thread in silver and golden tones.

Initially, I selected the suitable size and applied hot glue to the back of the decor base.

Next, I carefully positioned and stuck the decorative thread over the glued area.

Lastly, I allowed it to fully dry before moving forward with the next steps (this step is crucial).

Step 7: Adding Holi Message

Alright, it was time to add a message to the decor, and I opted for the ever-popular phrase “HOLI HAI.”

This iconic expression simply translates to “It’s Holi” and is commonly used during the festivities.

For example, when someone applies Holi color to you, they often greet you with a smile and the phrase “Holi Hai,” signifying the joyous occasion.

Using different colors, I carefully painted the message with a paintbrush.

Alternatively, one can utilize readily available stickers or craft letters using clay. If clay isn’t accessible, you can learn to make clay at home here or check out the video at our YouTube channel for a DIY homemade clay recipe.

Step 8: Adding Effects

It was time to elevate the decor, starting with applying glitters to the corners of the base.

So, I used a black pen to accentuate the borders of the letters, creating a stunning 3D effect.

The finished item, as seen in the image below, now boasts the desired effects and looks incredibly captivating to the eyes.

I have made multiple of these and have mounted them all around the living room.

Here’s how the final completed project looks like:
