If you like to collect wall art but hate how expensive it can be, you can pretty much make your own using different mediums.

German DIYer Alex shows us how it's done in her video, posted on her Instagram. Let's check it out!

It looks interesting.

Whether you create textured, abstract art using a spackle and a canvas, update a trashed poster and make it your own, or create wall art like Alex, the options are endless and inexpensive.

To create your own woven wall art, you'll need a cardboard box or large picture frame, double-sided tape, wrapping paper, an assortment of yarn in different colors, and scissors.

If you use a picture frame, remove the backing, as this will be your canvas. If you use cardboard, fold the cardboard box and cut it to the desired length.

Then use the double-sided tape and apply it to the edges of your canvas, and wrap it in wrapping paper.

Next, cut the yarn to the desired length and apply it to the double-sided tape on the back of your canvas, both vertically and horizontally.

Turn the canvas around, and now you can start weaving the sections of yarn, as demonstrated in the video. These yarn pieces, attached with tape, will act as the "warp" threads for your weaving.

Commence weaving by passing the yarn over and under the warp threads. For the initial row, weave from left to right, using your fingers or a small tool to gently pack down each row to ensure a tight weave.

Feel free to explore various weaving techniques to craft patterns and textures. You can experiment with alternating colors, creating stripes, or even trying out different weaving patterns to add visual depth to your piece.

Keep weaving rows until your woven artwork reaches the desired length, and make sure to press each row firmly against the previous one to prevent any gaps.

Once the sections of yarn reach the opposite side of your canvas, you can trim the excess and secure them on the back with more double-sided tape.

Now you can either attach the frame or hang it as it is.

That's it!
