Tree silhouette wall art
Instruction
Information
This 3 piece tree art can be wall mounted or framed to add a unique feature to any room. I used 3mm black MDF but any material can be used to make this design.
Instruction
Step1: Creating the design
To make this design I started with a tree silhouette from google images. I then imported the picture into XCS v2 and used the editing features to remove the background and erase any unwanted areas.
Step2: Add the boarder
Once you have the tree outline you will need to draw two rectangles to create the boarder. I was using 300x300mm materiel so I made the largest rectangle 295x195mm and the smaller one 285x185 to give a 5mm boarder on all sides.
Next you should centre the tree with the rectangles and use the combine feature to create one continuous shape.
Step3: Choose material and cut
I used 3mm black MDF from a local laser supplies store but this design can be cut from any material.
Once cut I used a clear spray lacquer to protect and add a smooth shiny surface to the finished art work.
Step4: Mount or frame
Once you have cut all three sections your art work can now be mounted on the wall or framed.
I used self adhesive picture hanging strips to avoid seeing any fixings when mounting these designs to the wall.
