Add Some Flair To Your Kitchen Coffee Station With This DIY Wire Wall Art
Could your home coffee bar use a little bit of sprucing up? Just because you spent a small fortune on an espresso machine doesn't mean you have to shell out for overpriced décor too. You can create gorgeous DIY wall décor on a budget using a roll of basic crafting wire. If you're not artistically inclined, don't sweat it. This craft requires zero creative skills because you will be tracing your wire sculpture from a template. Once your art piece is complete, you can upgrade it with all kinds of trendy features. A TikTok tutorial by @briarrosewire demonstrates the simple steps to crafting beautiful coffee-themed wall art.
First, you will need a roll of black metal hobby wire for sculpting, which you can find at your local crafting store and on Amazon (it costs around $10 a roll), a pair of pliers and a few push pins for hanging. Unless you are confident in your artistic skills, you will also need to print the design that you will be tracing with your wire on a sheet of paper before starting, too.

Grab your supplies and clear your work station; it's time to transform your coffee corner into an artsy barista station worthy of your favorite café.
How to make DIY coffee-themed wire art for your kitchen
Begin by sourcing your wire art design template by looking at websites like Etsy for inspiration. If you'd like to recreate the coffee cup from the TikTok video above, you can find the image on @briarrosewire's website. Before printing, scale the image to ensure that it matches the size of the wall décor you would like to create. Be careful to get the highest resolution possible, too. Then, grab your wire and begin to trace the image at one end, shaping the wire with your fingers and using pliers for the trickier corners.
This craft should not require any additional cutting or gluing as the design you choose should be one continuous line. If you aren't in love with how it looks, you can simply straighten out the wire and start over or even cut out a new piece. Just ensure that your artwork is as similar to the original image as possible. Once you've finished tracing and are happy with the results, cut the wire and find some wall space for your new art.
Use thumb tacks, push pins, or blue tack to hang it above your coffee station. For some added flair, consider placing it inside of a minimalist picture frame or on a round cork board. Or, make your new art a countertop accessory by using extra wire to create a makeshift stand. You could also opt for colorful or metallic wire. Once you get comfortable with creating wire art, the possibilities are endless.
