Step 1: Cut a piece of vinyl roughly to the size of one of the acrylic gem shapes. This is a perfect project for using up some of your vinyl scraps (if you have a stash like me)! Remove the vinyl from the backing and apply to the shape.
Step 2: Use a scraper (a credit card or ruler would work, too) to smooth out air bubbles (lifting the vinyl, if needed).
Step 3: Flip the shape so it lays on top of the vinyl. Use your knife to cut the vinyl around the edge of the shape.
Step 4: Repeat this process with as many shapes and colors as you’d like. It’s a really therapeutic process (my favorite kind)!
Step 5: Cut a string for each color of shapes. Tie one shape to the end of the string.
Step 6: Layer another shape over the bottom shape, and tie it in place on the string, ensuring the string and knots are hidden on the vinyl side.
Step 7: Repeat this process until you have created strands for each color.
Step 8: Attach each strand to the dowel and hang on the wall.
This DIY home wall decor project is so fun and colorful, and I love how the acrylic reflects light! Such a fun and simple project that makes a big impact!
