Another very simple idea is to just use a long piece of string or anything similar and come up with shapes and designs to create an interesting display for a wall in your home. You can paint the string or leave it as such and the design can be random. It will be original and quite unusual as well.

Then cut three circles out of tissue paper. Use different sizes and get creative. Play around with them until you find an arrangement that you’re happy with. Lay them on top of each other and new colors will appear. Lay a thin coat of Mod Podge where you want the first circle to go and lay it down slowly while smoothing the air bubbles and wrinkles. Do the same for the other two circles. Add another coat of Mod Podge and you’re done.{found on mrhandsomeface}.

You could also find some pictures on the internet and print them out. Then place the binder clips near each of the top two corners of your prints and use a tape measure to determine the distance between the clips. Then mark where the nails should go on the wall. Hammer the nails into the wall and then simply hang your art.{found on twinkleandtwine}.
