DIY: Bamboo Placemat Wall Hanging

This first DIY post is an easy... and super inexpensive! way to bring some island spice into your home. The entire project costs under $10, and can be made in under 10 minutes!

You'll need the following:

- Bamboo Placemat (purchased from Pier 1 for about $2.50)

- Faux flowers & greenery (purchased from Z Gallerie for about $2.50/piece)

- Fishing line

First, trim the faux stems to the desired length for your placemat.  Then, place greenery behind flowers, and secure the pieces together with fishing line.  Finally, secure the top and bottom of the stems to the bamboo mat... and you're done!

The finished product is lightweight, which makes it easy to hang on any wall for a quick fix of island flair. To add extra dimension, wrap a slightly larger piece of plywood or canvas with burlap, or make a few and line them along the wall. 

Inspired island art, in an instant!
