DIY: Geometric Paper Wall Art

You walk into Pottery Barn looking for something to hang on your wall. You browse through the store falling in love with pillows, desks, dining room sets, and then you turn the corner. You see the art piece you’ve always wanted, one you immediately fall for. You run to the sculpture/painting/photograph and admire, jaw dropped.
When of all of a sudden, you see $399.00.
You walk out of the store with slumped shoulders, your head is down … basically you look like Charlie Brown after a ‘good grief’ moment.
And then after you get some ice cream to cheer your up, you come home, and start searching the internet. You magically find this blog.
And now you’re very thankful.
And now you feel lucky.
But you’re still wondering why you’re feeling that way…
Well, it's because we’re giving you some immaculate paper wall art that is solely done with …
PAPER.

That’s right folks. All you need are four packs of JAM Paper for our DIY Paper Wall art, and you have made a beautiful art piece. Well, at least you have the materials for it (steps are coming right up).
We decided to go with a blue theme and picked out our Aqua Paper, Teal Paper, Navy Blue Paper, and our Platinum Translucent Paper. But you can use any four colors you want. Currently I’m making a co-worker his own Brite Hue Red, Dark Red, Burgundy, and Stardream Silver version!
Here are some pictures I took to get you all inspired to make your own.
But also so you can send your own version to JAM's Facebook so we can share it with the world.
Everyone wants to be famous ... right?
That convinced you ... didn't it?
Yeah, I know it did. So here are the steps to make your own Geometric Paper Wall Art Piece:
I've been asked to make a video, which might make it easier to see! But I still have the picture steps down below for reference. Just click the picture below!
Also ... sorry for the rotation being off. If needed, I'll try to make another soon! Love you guys!

But really, you can do whatever you want with these double triangles! Make them smaller if you're looking for a smaller art piece, make them bigger (with our Tabloid Sized Paper) for a bigger one. Or use a standard sheet and just keep adding and adding and adding to make your own shape!
And when you really just want a holder for your phone, just place it in the crease.

Bada-bing, bada-boom! This shape is so cool that people in the office are starting to ask for them! One person chose Navy, another Dark Red, and I picked Aqua. Another co-worker is still trying to figure out what color he wants, since JAM has wayyyy too many options to choose from.
I used regular tape to make my triangles stick to the paper. It worked for the time being but ...
**If you want to really make your shapes stick, I would suggest foam mounting tape! Cut out thin strips and place it on the middle crease or punch out circles of the mounting tape on the ends!
I bet you already forgot about that super expensive Pottery Barn art piece didn't you?
Wait ... did I just remind you?
CHECK IT OUT!
Some peeps were SO inspired, they made their own paper wall art!
