✨Good afternoon, Hive DIY community friends.
I hope you are all doing very well and have enjoyed your day nicely. Today I’m here to share a brand new DIY art blog with you. Even in the middle of a busy schedule, I always try to create something new whenever I get the chance.
I have been doing art since my childhood, and now I want to use that passion to start a new business. I don’t know how successful I will be, but there is no harm in trying. So, as a hobby, I started making home décor items using Lippan mirror art.
Today I’m sharing some of the Lippan art home décor items that I made.
I created three Lippan art wall décor pieces, each with a different design and different colors. Every single one turned out incredibly beautiful. I’m sharing how I made them and what materials I used.
These handmade wall hangings look so beautiful when decorated on the wall of a room. If you want, you can also try making them yourself. I’ll create many more different items in the future and share them with you.
🌈Materials I used for making the wall hangings:
B7000 glue
12-inch board
Colors
Fevicol molded clay
Fevicol glue
Small and large mirrors in different sizes
Different types of threads
Wall hooks for hanging
Powder
Foam
💙🩵Blue Lippan Wall Hanging
First, I made the blue-colored Lippan wall hanging. Since it was my first time, I faced a bit of difficulty while making and understanding the process. But I never imagined that the final finish would look so beautiful and that it would have such high demand. Everyone loved the first blue mirror wall hanging.
I first attached the large mirror in the center using B7000 glue. Then I took the clay pack. There are two types of clay inside, which need to be mixed together. After mixing them properly, the clay becomes workable and later hardens.
I took the required amount of clay and mixed it well, then used foam to shape it into long rope-like forms. After that, I applied glue and fixed the clay carefully around the mirror, designing it the way I wanted. To add texture and design, I used clay tools to create patterns on the clay, which made it look really beautiful. I learned this technique by watching YouTube videos before starting.
Once the clay dried, I applied colors. Although it looks easy, the process is very time-consuming. It took me about 3 to 4 hours to make just one piece, and then it needed time to dry.
I used two sets of colors. I mixed blue with a little white to create a sky-blue shade and applied both blue and sky blue on the board using foam. On top of the clay design, I used golden color.
After the colors dried, I attached the mirrors as I liked.
The mirror area looked a bit empty, so I decided to add hanging tassels using thread. I cut the thread into small pieces, made tassels, and glued them at the bottom. Now it looks so beautiful.
🤍💛Yellow Lippan Mirror Wall Hanging
Next, I made the yellow mirror wall hanging.
The board already had a floral design drawn on it. I applied glue and fixed the clay along the flower design, then left it to dry. After drying, I painted the entire piece white. Then I applied yellow shades using foam.
After that, I attached the mirrors. I made beautiful tassels using thread, just like the blue one, and hung them at the bottom. I also attached mirrors on both sides.
🤍💜Purple Lippan Wall Hanging
Then I made the purple wall hanging.
Since this was my third attempt, it turned out more perfect, and honestly, I liked this one the most. Purple is a color that everyone loves.
I used a white and purple combination—light purple and dark purple shades.
I created the purple color by mixing blue and red. For a lighter shade, I mixed a bit of white.
I applied clay on the 12-inch board using glue.
After it dried, I painted the whole board white first, then applied the purple colors.
Painting white first helps the colors look more vibrant and perfect. Many people use gesso for this, but since I didn’t have it, I used regular white paint instead.
I didn’t use any tassels on this one because it already looked gorgeous. I used more clay and more mirrors on this piece compared to the others, which made it stand out the most.
The total cost to make these three items was 1500 BDT.
Among these three, which one did you like the most?
Blue & sky blue with golden combination
Yellow & white
Purple & white
I personally love all three in different ways. Please share your opinion in the comments, and follow me to get more beautiful DIY ideas like this. That’s all for today—I’ll come back again with a new DIY project. Until then, take care everyone. Thank you so much 💜✨
