maple tree – Decor Craft Design

Couple of days ago I made a fall maple tree out of a cardboard. I painted it with fall colors of a real maple tree. Then I thought to my self, why don’t I paint the other side of the cardboard maple tree with clean white. A different look from real fall colors maple tree to modern minimalist maple tree. I added the word fall to give a contrast, white against black. So this maple tree become two sided decoration with two different style to match your fall theme.

Things To Prepared

Things to prepared for making this upcycle diy fall maple tree are:

Cardboard
White spray paint
Black marker
Glue

How To Make

Easy steps to turn cardboard into a pretty fall maple tree decoration are:

Draw different shapes of the maple tree on cardboard and then cut it. Make 7 sheets, less or more sheets depend on the thickness of the cardboard you have. Make it thick enough to be able to stand.
Glue all sheets together to form a fall maple tree that able to stand. Let it dry.
Since, I made this maple tree before, so I just use the other side of the glued cardboard maple tree for this project.
Paint the cardboard maple tree with white spray paint. Let it dry.
Draw the word Fall with black maker. Let it dry.
Your diy fall maple tree is finished!

Very easy and cost you almost nothing to make this fall diy. And the good thing is you can have two styles of maple tree, so you could have two different style for your fall decor. It would look fabulous if you combine it with the rest of your modern minimalist or rustic farmhouse fall decoration collection.

Autumn Painting Of Maple Tree

Inspired by maple trees with the red and gold colors of the autumn season, I painted a maple tree with the swirl of golden-yellow background. I think this painting is more like a modern abstract, if I’m not mistaken because I have never been in an art school. I just paint whatever comes in my mind.

I love painting, but I need at least two whole days to finish a simple painting. And two whole days means I ask a lot from my daily routine 🙂 That’s why I don’t do a lot of painting even though there are many ideas and objects that have already taken lines in my mind. So, every time I have a time to paint and able to finish it, I’m very pleased!

Actually I have been postponed this autumn painting of maple tree for a month. I was very busy and unable to paint something more complicated. So, this maple tree painting is quite simple and fast in its process.

This was the first time I used acrylic paint on a canvas. I found it a lot easier to use acrylic instead of oil paint because acrylic paint dries faster than oil paint. So, the painting process is a lot faster which was good for my busy days. Just for information, I used acrylic colors of Vermilion, Yellow Ochre, lemon yellow, gold, titanium white, crimson, burnt umber.

I have now a need addition to my autumn decoration and painting collections. I hope all of you who drop by to peak and read my post enjoys this Autumn Painting Of Maple Tree. May you be inspired too by this golden-yellow and red maple tree painting of autumn season spirit and create something in your own creations.

See you soon!

Creative Autumn Spirit!
