How to Make Hanging Scroll Art

Let me show you how easy it is to make a hanging scroll from recycled materials. This elegant and simple painted floral scroll makes a great gift or gorgeous home decor. This great scroll-like technique works for any type of art--including the kids doodles.

This hanging scroll is made using a knock-off Jenga game and recycling the wood game pieces. I love recycled crafting!

This project is part of the Creative Crafts Recycled Projects!

Recycle old Jenga wood pieces to make a hanging scroll from recycled materials.

Supplies Needed for Hanging Scroll Art:

Art (painting, calligraphy or child's doodle)

4 Recycled Wooden Strips (of the same size)

8 inches Bakers Twine

Hot Glue/Gun

Paper Cutter

Wood Cutter

Step 1 for Hanging Scroll:

Begin by using the paper cutter to trim the paper slightly less wide than your wood strips. Or...use a power tool to cut some scrap wood strips into pieces a little wider than your desired art piece. Just a quarter of an inch difference is perfect.

*Hint: This was made with knock-off Jenga Game wood pieces!

This watercolor piece was a fun study I did while on vacation, sitting poolside while my kids swam. I love how it blends together.

Step 2 To Make it Hang:

Next, hot glue about 7-8 inches of twine on both ends of the first wooden strip. Then add a stripe of hot glue to the wood.

Step 3 Attaching the Art:

Now place the watercolor floral painted art on the hot glue and press firmly.

Then add more hot glue to the wood strip and the top edge of the art.

Immediately place another wood piece on top and press firmly in place.

Repeat the same process to the bottom edge of the art by adding a stripe of hot glue to the backside of the bottom edge.

Then place the paper on the wood piece so it's nice and level.

Again, add more hot glue to the wooden game piece and the paper before pressing the final wood piece on top. Super easy way to make a stunning presentation!
