Look! Fabric Wall Mural

2008-12-03-ikea1.jpg

More tree-goodness coming your way. We know many parents who wanted to create a mural in their child's bedroom but were afraid to do so without the help of a professional. It's understandable - putting something so large scale and meant to be a focal point on the wall is the best fodder for procrastination. Perhaps the beautiful results of this tree mural will give you some courage. What was their secret ingredient?

Parents Pinot and Dita created this blossoming tree from poster paint and...IKEA fabric scraps!

They outlined the tree and other forms they wanted to create and filled them in with cut out fabric from IKEA to give it beautiful color, pattern and texture. Check out more about their mural painting process on their blog and watch the video demo too!
