DIY Paint Stick HOME Decor Ladder

I don’t know when ladders became a staple in Home Decor but I’m totally here for it! Store bought ones can be expensive so here is a DIY budget friendly version of the HOME Decor ladder made with paint sticks! I added a Sunflower as the “O” to top it off and make this look like it came right off the shelves of Hobby Lobby!

There’s nothing I love more than a project that can be made on a budget. Especially something that normally cost a pretty penny in stores like the good ‘ole Hob Lob!

We make a ton of easy and affordable DIY Home Decor projects in my private crafting group, The CRafterparty, but this one is definitely a favorite. How cute does this DIY Paint Stick Ladder look with the rest of my Spring to Summer decor like the Dollar Tree Sunflower Truck?

Instead of buying a HOME Decor Ladder on your next Hobby Lobby run, why not make one for a fraction of the cost…out of paint sticks!

This project can be made in sooooo many different ways depending on your style, and what colors you decorate with in your home. I myself am #SunflowerObsessed so of course I chose to go the Sunflower route.

I made the “O” a large sunflower, but you could even make this interchangeable and switch it out for each season and holiday if you want. I went with the more “everyday” look that I can keep up most the year.

I used 5 gallon paint stick for the sides, and cut some 1 gallon paint sticks for the rungs.

I made this DIY Paint Stick HOME Decor ladder EXTRA affordable by opting to cut the letters out of cardboard rather then buying wood letters.

And I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out!
