NOTE: Allow each section of paint to dry fully before adding another color, this will prevent paint colors from bleeding into each other.
I found these amazing woven chargers at a discount store. They were perfect to create the Scandinavian-inspired wall art look I was going for. These wall hangings can get pretty pricey so I thought a DIY version was a great option.
TIP: These chargers already had lines that I used as a guide to create patterns which I painted free handed. If the chargers you find don't have lines, then painters tape is a great option to help create any lines or patterns you're making.
I chose to paint with blues and white in Metallic Ice Blue, True Blue and Snow because they work so well together.
For design inspiration I gathered several images of woven wall baskets with patterns I liked. I used the flat paint brush and started my first pattern at the bottom and worked my way around the charger. See finished photo for reference.
Paint each section of the charger with 1 coat of paint. Let it dry completely before adding a second coat.
Continue painting each charger in various patterns that complement one another. Once the paint has fully dried you can add a command strip to the back to hang on the wall.

HELPFUL HINTS
Tip #1: Pull up your inspiration photos before getting started. You can use these chargers as inspiration, go online or come up with your own unique ideas! Tip #2: For the best composition on your wall, paint an odd number of chargers - 3,5,7 - and in various sizes if you can find them.
