Miki from Miki’s Designs wanted to dress up her bedroom wall with a message for her hubby, but didn’t want it too be overly obvious. She came up with a great solution for displaying her secret message, using foam balls sliced in half and applied to the wall to spell it out in braille! Her message says that she’s crazy about him but sometimes he drives her crazy, a sentiment to which I’m sure most of us can relate! The cost for the project will of course depend on the wording you choose and what size foam balls you use. Unless you’re rather long-winded, you should be able to spell out your message for about $5 to $10. [how to make secret message wall art] [braille alphabet chart]
Project estimate:
- Styrofoam balls, about$5 and up
- Double-sided tape, on hand or $1
Total: $5 and up

cool idea! my husband and I wrote letters to each other in a secret code when we were kids – I should find a way to use that around the house.

That is so creative! I wouldn’t come up with such idea in a million years. I am going to help my friend paint her living room next weekend, and I will definitely suggest this design. Thanks for the inspiration.

Cool idea! I think this is such a fun thing to do! Looks cool too!

if the letters were on velcro, you could change the message every now and then!

This is genius! I am always looking for new and exciting ways to teach my boys about differently-abled people. This is a great visual way to explain to them how blind people are able to read, and it looks so modern!

Splendid idea. Understated, but in a BIG way! Well done.

Let’s not forget that we can use this in our classrooms. I’m bringing this up @ our sons’ PTA board mtg as a neat way to show how different people learn. I’m planning on using strips of velcro so that we can change the message for different events. The kids can play “Guess What it Says!”
