Leafy Walls

I wanted to jazz up my master bath a little but wanted something simple. I decided leaves would be nice.

These are the supplies I used: a leaf, spray adhesive, a foam sanding block, acrylic paint, a paintbrush, styrofoam plates, and oh....and scissors too (not pictured!).






For the leaves, look for a shape you like and be sure the back of the leaf has good texture. Some leaves are much more pronounced in their veining than others!






Once you have a leaf you are happy with, give it a quick spray on the front side with some adhesive.









Next, place the leave on the foam sanding block (or another kind of foam, just so it's something you can cut). Sandwich the leaf and foam between styrofoam plates and pressed firmly.

Cut around the leaf carefully.

Apply some paint. Don't go too thick with it. Experiment by printing it on paper for practice until you are happy with the paint amount.

Press the painted leaf against your surface.

Scatter them wherever you like on your walls!
(I used different leaves in my bathroom than the one I showed in my demo.)
