Ever wonder how you can achieve the trendy aesthetic of hanging used skateboard decks and turning it into unique wall art for your home? Focused Board Supply has you covered.
Skateboarding is a beloved pastime for many, but what happens to the decks once they are no longer usable for riding? Rather than simply throwing them away, why not repurpose them into something new and unique?
One creative option is turning them into wall art. The process of upcycling skateboard decks into wall art is fairly simple and requires only a few basic tools. The first step is to clean the deck thoroughly, as it will likely have accumulated dirt and grime from its previous use. Once it is clean, you can decide on a design or theme for the piece. This can be as simple as a single deck hanging on the wall, or as complex as a collage of multiple decks arranged in a specific pattern.
You can paint the deck, using a paintbrush or spray paint to create a colorful abstract design, or a simple solid color. If you prefer to keep the natural wood grain of the deck visible, you can apply a clear coat of polyurethane to protect the wood and enhance its natural beauty. Alternatively, you can add decals or use stencils to create a graphic image on the deck. Some artist also prefer to use wood burning tool and transfer an image on the deck which give a unique touch.
Once your design is complete, the next step is to mount the deck to the wall. You can do this by attaching a sawtooth hanger or a picture hanger to the back of the deck, or by using screws or nails to hang the deck from the wall. The key is to ensure that the deck is hung securely and level.
The end result is a one-of-a-kind piece of wall art that is sure to be a conversation starter. Skateboard decks are also relatively inexpensive to purchase and make an eco-friendly choice since you are reusing them instead of buying new. Upcycling old decks into wall art is a creative and fun DIY project that anyone can do. Not only you can enjoy the beauty of your work but also you will have a story behind it, reminding you of your passion for skateboarding.
Moreover, using a used skateboard deck as a wall art can be a great way to honor and commemorate the sport. They not only serve as a decorative piece but also as a reminder of the memories and experiences associated with skateboarding. Upcycling used skateboard decks into wall art is an innovative and unique way to show your love for the sport while also making a statement about sustainability and repurposing.
In conclusion, upcycling skateboard decks into wall art is a fun, easy and eco-friendly way to create a unique and personal piece of home decor. With a little bit of creativity and some basic tools, you can transform an old deck into a one-of-a-kind piece of art that will add personality to any room in your home.
