TUESDAY-HOW-TO: wall art

 

today's HOW-TO is all about decorating your house on a budget! like art work for a $10 budget! not bad right?! this project is also great if you have a large wall to fill, but want want something simple and tonal to the colors in your room. i had a big empty wall ((in our office)) that needed a little somethin-somethin. so i scored a couple wood panels that my neighbor was throwing away, picked up some tonal paint samples, and went to town! 

 

**want more HOW-TO's??? go here to cover a chair, or here to learn how-to do a messy bun!

YOU'LL NEED: (above) a paint tray, painters tape, a yard stick, roller brush, & two sample paints.

(below) recycled wood panels or store bought wood.

STEP 1: draw out your geometric design on a piece of paper... then draw the same design onto your wood panel. use your yard stick to make your lines as straight and consecutive a possible.

STEP 2: using your roller paint brush, go over the straight lines in your design... 

you will want to do two coats of this paint.

STEP 3: once your second coat is dry, tape off where your original lines were.
