Washi Tape Arrows & the boys {shared} bedroom makeover part 1

May 2, 2013 by Kellie

Washi Tape Arrows via Nest of Posies

Before we get started you should know that this room has taken me forever to do…and I’m still not done.  I am not one of those fast DIY home bloggers that can do amazing things on any given day.  It takes me months, I tell you.  Months…

It’s probably also worth mentioning that this is a shared bedroom by two boys who are at the time of this post 4 & 7.  Both have similar interests & then not so much.  This bedroom will be a juxtaposition of everything they love.  WOODY! Animals, Cowboys & Indians, Space, Astronauts, Cars, Star Wars & art.  So basically all sorts of toys piled into one room.  😉

What makes me rather excited about the whole thing is that I can intertwine feathers, arrows & some tribal design into the bedroom & they’ll love it just about as much as I will!   About a month or so ago Beth wrote a post about how Arrows are trending in design & she featured this post from Thompson Family Life .  I already knew I wanted to have a tribal vibe in the boys’ room, but when I saw her arrows, I knew I would have to recreate them!  I basically followed her directions, of course using my own color story for the boys’ room & I decided to use recycled cardboard for my arrows.  You’ll need about 3 coats on the cardboard for the arrow tips to get a good color built up.  But everything else is super easy & so fun to make!

I used hot glue & some washi tape to hold the feathers in place & placed the arrow tip on with hot glue as well.

I didn’t even realize that I would have a good theme going on, on this wall when I bought everything at random, several months apart.

The 6 feathers in the print above represent the 6 brave teachers that lost their lives at Sandy Hook.  Brickyard Buffalo was having a fundraiser for the Sandy Hook kids & I purchase 3 prints from various artists.

The print is called “remember”  ~ I thought it was beautiful how the feathers gradually fade away.  And it goes perfectly on the boys’ feather & arrow wall.

We’ve come a long ways from where we started in this room, but I have tons more I would like to do in here.  Hoping I can tackle some more ideas on my list – soon!
