Playroom Tree Mural

My playroom/schoolroom has been a work in progress all school year but it is starting to come together. I stared at a large blank wall for weeks trying to decide what I wanted to do and in the end I went with a tree that we could use for many different things. I figured this way I wouldn't get tired of it so quickly (as I tend to do). I plan to use it to display artwork and use later as a teaching tool for my little one. For example, making it a letter tree, teaching seasons, teaching about animals and insects, etc. I free handed the tree but you can use a projector to make it easier. My inspiration came from here.

 I used acrylic craft paints and a butter lid (I know, I am a professional)

 I roughly used my brush and made my lines of my tree.

It took my three coats to get my tree as dark and defined as I wanted it.

I cut out multiple leaves and my owls from scrapbook paper. 

I am most excited about using different themes with paper!

 

 I used painters tape to tape the leaves on the tree in no particular order.

So there it is, my playroom/schoolroom in progress!
