I painted a tree on my DS2's bedroom wall (it's now DD's room)

I was looking through a baby magazine and saw the tree in a tiny little pic and loved it. Found the website were you could buy the wall sticker for it which was over $100, couldn't justify paying that so i decided to paint it myself. I printed out the tree as big as i possibly could, A4 or A3 i can't remember and from there i drew a stensil of it myself.

I did this by sticking A4 pieces of paper to the wall and also together as i made my way up drawing the trunk and the branches and the leaves. It's pretty much the height of the wall. Once i had completed the stensil of the tree i cut it out and stuck it to the wall where i then traced around it with pencil. Once i had the tree drawn on the wall i then began to paint it.

The bedroom has 3 blue walls and 1 white which the tree is painted on.

I got so much satifaction out of painting the tree it was a huge accomplishment. So if you can figure out how to do it go for it, i'm sure your little one will love it.

The tree itself was very simple, i only needed two colours of paint.

Good luck If i get a moment (probably after kids are in bed tonight) i could try and figure out how to do link
