Crate & Barrel-Inspired DIY Wall Art

Mason's room has been rearranged a few times since his nursery was completed and lately it has felt a bit... disjointed. It was time to get things coordinated once again. Blame it on my OCD. Or my affinity for symmetry. Or having a full day off work.

I'll share some pictures when I have all of the details finished, but here is a little art project I finished this week:

The inspiration? This set of wall tiles I found at Crate & Barrel. It was another case of, "I bet I could make that."

I had some canvases left over from my fabric sign obsession and paint from the trim in Mason's room. First I painted the front and sides of four canvases.

Next, I chose the images I wanted to use for each canvas and traced them onto wax paper. You basically create a reverse stencil by applying overlapping strips of painters tape and then cutting out the design. Just peel off the wax paper and there you have your "stencil".

Stick the tape right on the canvas and paint over it. Let the paint dry and peel off the tape. That's it!

Easy wall art to match Mase's circles and primary colors bedroom. Updated pictures of the rest coming soon.
