So, for those of you waiting for this two weeks ago, I'm sorry. I'm not a very consistent blogger... but behold! I have finished this project! (and I have a rather good idea for my next post)
Just as a note, this wasn't what I had originally intended to do- I had actually started this intending to copy a picture I saw somewhere of a rather awesome stylized peacock, but I couldn't find the picture later, so I did this instead. I still like it, a lot, and it's easy to add to, but still. I just thought I should let you know.
To start with (this is a shocker, I know), you need a paint chip board. Or you could do this in a plain picture frame, as you will. However, I started with the the paint chip board I made last time.
Next, I cut out this tree, and taped it on. Everything else has been and will be attached with staples, but paint chips are colorful, and inherently hide staples better than plain white paper.
Next, I chose a few paint chips out of the ones I had left, I think 5 or 6, and cut out a bunch of leaf shapes from them. These don't have to be perfect, and actually look cooler with a bit of variance.
I then stapled them on in a suitably artistic manner, and.. ta-daa! You have your cool art work. I liked the falling leaf look, so I did that, but this method works for almost anything you want to put up there.
