Hello I’m Steph Sestito, welcome to Hut-to-Home, a new DIY
special that will take you through everything you need to know to turn your hut
into a home!
This is my hut!
Now…decorating mud walls is not always easy… first of all there are the wall creatures. Before
decorating an area, make sure to always clear away the:
wall spiders
geckos
and termite tunnels.
Also, chase out any particularly pesky chickens…
Okay, now you’re ready to begin. Survey the area you intend
to decorate. Is it mostly smooth? If so, you may be able to get away with using
copious amounts of sticky tack, as seen here:
If the wall has decided to be some shape other than flat, or
if you’d like to create a larger display, it’s time for drastic measures.
First, choose some pieces of cardboard, roughly the size of your display. Affix
to the wall with heavy duty Velcro (courtesy of Dad!). Then, tape on a piece of
paper, giving you a uniform backdrop for future decoration. Next, apply photos
with sticky tack. Add more as needed. You should end up with something like
this:
Don’t forget to be creative! Have a book that’s falling
apart? Cut heart shapes from the pages!
Have a random stick lying around….? Use some string and
thumbtacks to create a necklace display.
The possibilities are endless!
Stay tuned for Hut-to-Home, The Developing Kitchen Edition!
It might just blow your mind! :)
