ColorBlock Art

The area above the bed in the guest room was in need of a little something…

I didn’t photograph the area in my guest room/nursery reveal closely because it was bare. But not anymore…

I grabbed:

48 x 22 inch plyboard (recycled from shipping packaging but available at the hardware store too)
FrogTape® MultiSurface
paint

Since my board was stored in the basement, I cleaned away the dust.

Then measured and marked the center of my board.

Next I applied FrogTape to create a sunburst design, starting from the center marking. I just placed my pieces randomly.

Using a gift card, I burnished the edges of the tape to get clean crisp lines.

Then painted each area, applying paint in the direction of the wood grain with a foam brush.

While paint was still wet, I carefully removed the Frogtape then let my painting dry.

Add picture hanging hardware or use velcro hangers to display the masterpiece! It fills the space nicely and adds pops of color. Fun! A great way to add a big statement for little cost.

{notice the photobomber? lol!}

I’m not very “artistic” when it comes to painting but a geometric pattern is something anyone can do. Coordinate colors with your existing decor, make a big statement without breaking the bank.
