DIY Art Work
canvas
blue spray paint
tape
hot glue and glue gun
small silk flowers
small silk leaves (optional)
distressing ink
brown paint
I started by taping the trunk of the tree on opposite sides of the canvas, like so:
Now for the branches. This one goes to my awesome sis. I was going to just put strait pieces of tape on for strait branches but she thought of something much better. When you tear the tape it gives it a nice natural edge. LOVE it!
Now for my favorite part... SPRAY PAINT! You could paint these with traditional paint but 1: spray paint goes on nice and smooth and 2: it's a lot faster. Here's my sis displaying the lovely paint we selected.
After the paint dried we took off the blue tape and starting placing the flowers.
I gave the tree a little brown definition and distressed the edges of the tree. Now I decided to add some leaves to bring in more of the green but you certainly can opt out on those. On one of the trees I had my sister who is an art major make an M+J in the tree (their initials, cute huh). It turned out a little bigger than expected so I would recommend making a smaller one in the very corner but the bigger version like so also looks great as well. What ever floats your boat.
Now I'm going to curl up in some blankets and study. Good night all!
