This Dollar Tree Jump Rope DIY Screams Stunning Wall Decor On A Budget

If you're looking for a simple way to brighten and add color to your space, you'll want to light up your home decor with this easy Dollar Tree DIY. Whether you're decorating a child's room or your living room, you can use light up jump ropes from Dollar Tree to create gorgeous neon-style wall signs. By attaching the jump ropes to a poster board, you'll be able to make images or write out words to enhance a blank wall. Once you turn on the jump ropes, your DIY neon sign will glow and show your unique artwork.

While some Dollar Tree locations will have light up jump ropes in stock, there are other options if your store doesn't have any on the shelves. Michaels carries Kool 'n Fun light-up jump ropes in various colors for about $5 each, though this is a bit pricier than Dollar Tree. With just a few cheap toys and some foam board, you can DIY beautiful wall decor for your home.

Start by using a pencil to map out your design on your Dollar Tree foam board or poster board. This will help guide you when you're ready to fasten the jump ropes into place and will allow you to change the design if needed and ensure it fits properly on the board. Depending on the size and intricacy of your sign, you may need multiple jump ropes to complete it. Once your design is perfected, take your jump ropes and inspect the handles. Cut off the handle that does not contain the batteries. This will leave you with fewer excess pieces to hide, as the batteries will later be tucked away. Starting with the cut end, glue your rope over your drawn design. If the jump rope starts to get too short, move onto another one, leaving enough space to wrap the battery handle around the back of your sign.

When you're finished gluing, use scissors to cut off excess poster board, leaving only a small border around your design. This will give your sign a unique shape and help it to blend in better with your other decor. Finally, glue the battery packs to the back of your sign, ensuring that any switches or screws are facing up so you can control the lights.
