DIY Leaf In Leaf Wall Art

The kids are back in school this week, which means a bit of solo crafty retail therapy and the inspiration for this DIY Leaf In Leaf Wall Art. Creating wall art with a wood frame has been on my list of DIYs to try. For some reason I’m drawn to square things, so I bought this pack of 3 square display frames (which were on sale!!) at Michaels. And then some pink cardstock for the background. Once everything came together, I was so pleased with the results. I think this artwork will be a lovely housewarming or Mother’s Day gift, what do you think? Yes? Then read on for the tutorial! 

The What

• Silhouette Studio (there is a free version!)
• Silhouette cutting machine
• Leaf In Leaf design on the Silhouette Design Store
• Pink (for the frame’s mat) and white cardstock for the cut design
• Square display frames (white 8×8 in) – I got mine at Michaels but you can get something similar here online
• Glue

The How

1. Download and open the Leaf In Leaf design in Silhouette Studio
2. Load your white cardstock onto your Silhouette cutting machine and send to cut using cardstock settings
3. Cut your pink cardstock to a square (8×8 in)
4. Glue the cut Leaf In Leaf design to the middle of the square pink cardstock
5. Remove the backing of your square frame and add your pink and white artwork
6. Reassemble your frame
7. Optional – you can remove the glass display too

All you need to do is hang your pretty art on your wall, display on a desk or give as a gift. What will you do with yours? Tell me in the comments below.
