Step-by-Step Instructions
Now let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions for creating this beautiful DIY wall decor. You can also reference Nora G’s Nook video for a visual demonstration.
-
Create Texture with Hot Glue: Start by using a hot glue gun to create a textured pattern around the frames of the charger plates. This will add dimension and visual interest to your wall decor.
-
Elevate with Jenga Blocks: Place jenga blocks under the charger plates to elevate them. This will create a layered effect when the mirrors are added later on.
-
Apply Mod Podge and Crushed Glass: Use mod podge to apply a generous amount onto the charger plates. Then, apply crushed glass or mirror pieces to create a sparkling and glamorous look. Allow this to dry for at least 24 hours.
-
Paint the Frames: While the mod podge is drying, paint the frames of the second set of charger plates with black chalk paint. This will give them a sleek and modern appearance.
-
Add Pattern with Table Mat: Use a silver table mat from Dollar Tree to create a pattern in the center of two charger plates. You can measure and cut the mat according to the size of the charger plate or simply trace the plate’s shape onto the mat and cut it out.
-
Attach Mirrors: Once the charger plates are dry, attach square mirrors to the elevated sections using tacky glue. This will create a beautiful reflective surface and complete the design.
Creating a Pair of Designs
For this DIY project, we will be creating a pair of designs. The first design will feature a textured frame made with hot glue, while the second design will have a sleek black frame. By creating contrasting designs, you can achieve a unique and visually interesting arrangement on your wall.
Placing Patterns onto the Plates
To add even more dimension and interest to your charger plates, you can add patterns. In this case, we used a silver table mat to create a pattern in the center of two charger plates. This adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design. Make sure to wait for the paint to dry completely before applying patterns to avoid any smudging or smearing.
Adding Mirrors to the Design
To bring the design to life, add mirrors to the completed charger plates. By using square mirrors, you can create a sleek and modern look. This is a great opportunity to introduce some reflective elements to your wall decor. You can reference the previous round mirror wall decor video for inspiration and ideas on how to arrange the mirrors.
Adhering the Plates to the Wall
Once all the elements of your charger plate wall decor are ready, it’s time to adhere them to the wall. Use Velcro strips or adhesive hooks to securely attach the charger plates to the wall. The advantage of using Velcro is that it allows for easy movement and rearranging if you decide to change the layout or add more charger plates in the future. Just make sure to properly install the Velcro to ensure that the plates are securely attached.
Color Scheme and Design Fit
The color scheme for this DIY wall decor is black, white, and silver, creating a classic and timeless look. The black frame adds a touch of elegance, while the silver elements bring a touch of glamour. This design can fit seamlessly into any space, whether it’s a bedroom, living room, or even a hallway. Its versatility makes it a perfect addition to any interior decor style.
