Create a Beautiful Wall Hanging Using Old Newspapers

Looking for a creative, eco-friendly décor idea? A newspaper bell wall hanging is a fun and inexpensive way to add charm to any room. I remember making one for a client who wanted a sustainable Diwali décor piece, and her friends couldn’t stop asking where she bought it—it was all handmade!

Why Newspaper Crafts?

In my experience, using newspapers for crafts is not only budget-friendly but also environmentally friendly. With upcycling and sustainable décor trending in 2025, people are moving away from plastic and disposable decorations. In fact, Pinterest reports a 37% increase in searches for “newspaper crafts DIY” this year.

Materials You’ll Need

  • Old newspapers
  • Scissors
  • Glue or tape
  • Thread or thin jute string
  • Beads or bells (optional)

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  • Prepare the newspaper – Cut pages into triangles or squares, depending on the bell shape you want.
  • Make the bell – Roll or fold the paper pieces into cone shapes and secure with glue.
  • Add details – Paint, glitter, or color the bells if you want a festive touch.
  • Attach the bells – Tie each bell with thread or jute string, and add beads or small metal bells for sound.
  • Create the wall hanging – Tie multiple strings of bells to a wooden stick or hoop, ensuring even spacing.

Final Thoughts

I once made a newspaper bell wall hanging entirely from old magazines, and it became the centerpiece of a living room! Don’t underestimate the charm of simple, handmade crafts—they bring personality and warmth to any space.
