Picture Frame

A one of a kind home décor craft that will add a rustic feel to your bedroom is a nature themed picture frame.

If the frame is an unpleasing color you can paint it a neutral color such as cream or brown.

Then decorate the frame using the rustic touches. Lay twigs flat across the length of each side of the frame and add pine cones and other nature items to the corners or edges. You can also cut the twigs into small segments and lay them vertically alone the width of th picture frame.

Rustic Lamp

A rustic themed lamp makes a great home décor item in your bedroom. For this craft you will need a lamp base, lamp shade, long sticks, pruning shears, a hot glue gun, brown paint, a wide paintbrush, paper towels, raffia hot glue sticks, and a hot glue gun.

Start this craft by trimming the sticks so that they are long enough to cover the length of the lampshade. Then use the glue gun to attach the twigs around the entire lampshade. Tie raffia around the top of the lampshade to add detail and beauty.

Then use the brown paint to create a rustic wood effect. Start by dipping the brush lightly into the paint. Brush it ones on each side on the paper towel to remove excess paint. Then decide which way the wood grain will go on the lamp base. Brush the paint on the lamp base in a long stroke. Make sure to lay the brush flat to create a wooden grain texture. Add knots by spinning the brush in a circle, and follow the original stroke to finish the rest of the lamp base. When the paint is dried, add the lampshade, and your rustic home décor craft can be placed in your bedroom.

Rustic home décor can add a romantic and comfortable feeling to your bedroom. Try making your own rustic home décor crafts as an inexpensive alternative. These rustic home deco crafts will add warmth and charm to any bedroom.
