DIY Chicken Wire Wall:

Ricky's sister, Katie, has a small wall in her kitchen that she put chicken wire on and she uses it to display pictures and things.  Well... today, I was sitting around the house trying to find something productive to do.  So, I made my own version of the chicken wire wall in my room.  It isn't the whole wall, but it is a 4 foot section of one of my walls.  This was a super easy, quick, and very inexpensive DIY project.  I wanted something that I could start and finish today, and this was the perfect project for that.  I used chicken wire that my mom already had from one of her projects, a staple gun and staples that I found in our garage, my mom's measuring tape and scissors, and a chair in my room to stand on.
 This is the wall before (nothing special, just a blue wall):
These are the supplies I used (a staple gun, measuring tape, heavy duty scissors, and duh chicken wire):
This was when I laid the chicken wire out to measure and cut it.  For this step, I just measured the wall and did my best to cut the chicken wire about the same height.  I was fully prepared to have to cut some off of the bottom once I hung it, but it fit perfectly.  Yes!
 This is what it looked like when I finished stapling it to the wall:
 This is the finished product after I hung some knick-knacks on it.  I'm in love with this wall, like for real.  I love being able to change it up any time I want.  (I'm a little fickle, so its perfect for me).
 Here is a close-up of the goodies I put on it:
Here's my inspiration, Katie's Version.
I am incredibly pleased with the end result of my chicken wire wall.  Yay for DIY projects that come to completion!
