DIY TREE WALL ART

Before jumping into the project, let us talk about the benefits, which I experienced.

BENEFITS OF WALL DECORATION WITH ART

  • The first thing, I experienced is, the wall became so "bright, attractive and vibrant", otherwise, it is an old boring wall.
  • Next, you can customize your own space with your favorite art. It eventually lifts your mood, when you are down, it brings positivity.
  • With wall art, It may not only image, but you can also paint your favorite quotes, that motivates you. In my case, the wall has "FEED YOUR FIRE". Or simply the words you like.

ROUGH PLAN

For reference, you can use any image you find perfect. I used Pinterest for my art. As I am not an expert, this planning helped me a bit. Planning beforehand can always avoid mistakes.

STEPS FOR DIY WALL ART – TREE

  1. CLEAR / CLEAN THE WALL

Just wipe using a dry cloth or if already have any pictures hanging, clear it. Lay newspapers in the floor below.

DIY WALL DECOR
WALL I CHOSE TO PAINT

I chose the particular wall of my room because this orange wall looked dull and lifeless. Moreover, this is the place where I work, so I needed to be vibrant.

WALL ART
SIDE OF THE WALL I CHOSE TO PAINT

I particularly selected the left side of the wall and painted half tree from the cupboard.

  1.  PENCIL SKETCH

First sketch your image/tree as you wish, using pencils. This will help our guidelines when we start to paint. Or you can directly paint.

PENCIL SKETCH

I sketched very lightly because if I make mistakes or got any idea, we can erase and correct easily.

  1. CARDBOARDS

When coming to leaves, I wanted the tree to have symmetrical leaves. So, I used the cardboard as stencils. Since it is a DIY, we can customize the shape as our wish.

WALL ART
STENCILS FOR LEAVES

Here are the stepwise instructions of how I made simple DIY stencils or leaf blocks.

Step 1: First draw a rough shape of the leaf in a cardboard. You can use the real leaf for reference or freehand sketch.

FREE HAND SKETCHING

Step 2: Once you approve your leaf shape, cut out the leaf part using scissors.

CUT OUT THE LEAF

Step 3: (Optional) You can also cut off the leaf margin, using X-acto precision knife.

STENCILS OF LEAVES

Step 4: Arrange the leaves based on the size and shape.

ARRANGE ACCORDING TO SIZE

Step 5: Mark the leaf cutouts using numbers based on the shape. This numbering can help you later while drawing leaves.

NUMBER THE STENCILS ACCORDING TO SIZE

Once the leaf stencils are ready, start using them as guides and draw the leaves along the branches of your tree.

USE PENCILS TO PROVIDE OUTLINE

Trace out the leaves with the bigger leaves at the bottom of the twig/branches and smaller leaves in the upper part.

ARRANGE AND TRACE LEAVES AS YOUR WISH

Once you complete tracing out, start your outline part. Leave the vein part. I wanted it more precise, so instead of outlining with paint, I used a marker.

LOOK OF LEAF STENCIL SIZING
  1. MARKERS

For precise leaf veins, I used black markers. You can also paint leaf veins using a small brush.

MARKERS FOR LEAF VEINS

Instead all this, you can completely paint with one color and later after the paint dries, you can draw the veins and margins with contrasting color.

  1. COMPLETE OUTLINES

In case, if you choose a single color like I did, before filling, try to complete outlines. This will help to prevent confusion.

This is the look after completing the outline of the branches and trunk of the tree.

ON A CLOSER LOOK

This following look is after finishing the leaves. And the complete outlined look of a tree.

ON A CLOSER LOOK
  1. TIME TO PAINT

Now fill the image with the color, you preferred. I liked my wall to have a single color, So straight picked black paint. I chose acrylic colors as it is fast drying. You can choose whatever paints you want.

AFTER FILLING THE TRUNK AND BRANCHES

Initially, I painted branches and trunk. After completing, it looked so nice to leave to as it is. But went on painting the leaves too.

ON A CLOSER LOOK

While painting the leaves, I preferred to leave the margin as it is, without filling. As I love that look. It highlights the leaves very well.

  1. EXTRA DETAILS

I preferred adding details to the tree like

  • birds nest
  • birds silhouette
  • owl
  • birds cage, etc

But I finally, chosea falling twig. It is so attractive and simple.

FALLING TWIG – OUTLINED

COMPLETED LOOK OF TWIG

In the bottom, instead of leaving plain trunk, I drew grass around it. So as a whole the tree looked pleasant and lovely.

  1. EMBELLISHMENTS

In addition to these extra details, you can also add embellishments you like. I used the color papers to make origami butterfly and added.

EMBELLISHMENTS – BUTTERFLIES

These butterflies are simple to make and added 3-dimensional effect to this embellishment. Stay tuned for the next post, to learn how to make these simple and easy DIY butterflies.

HOW I USED THESE BUTTERFLIES?

To attach these butterflies to the wall, you can use a hot glue gun, the glue that you prefer. Here, I used double-sided foam tape.

HOW I USED IN WALL ART

I neatly cut the tape into the desired size and attached inner side of the butterfly.

COLOURED VS BLACK COLOUR
