Autumn is the season of change, so get ready to change up your living space with DIY fall décor!
This tutorial from Oh Yay Studio will show you how to create gorgeous floral wall art with a metallic finish using COLORSHOT. It’s so easy to transform natural elements with spray paint— our lustrous metallic spray paints are the perfect way to add elegant vibes to your décor!
What you need:
COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paints (This project uses Princess Cut, Bubble Bath, Cheers, First Million, Treasure Chest, Lucky Penny, Bronzer)
Kraft paper
Dried florals, foliage, and grass
Protective surface cover
Floral wire
Chicken wire
Scissors or wire cutter
Adhesive hooks
Cut kraft paper
Begin creating the paper palms for your floral wall art. Start by cutting a section of your kraft paper and fold it in half, then cut an arch meeting at the middle fold.
Accordion fold kraft paper
Open up the fold and begin accordion folding back and forth, doing your best to keep the folds the same size across the whole paper until you reach the end, and crease with your fingers. Repeat the first two steps with various-sized pieces of kraft paper for your floral wall art.
Wrap kraft paper with floral wire
Pinch the bottom of the folded kraft paper and wrap with floral wire at the base, leaving about 6 inches of wire off the bottom to secure to the chicken wire frame later. Spread the folded kraft paper to make palm frond-inspired shapes for your floral wall art.
Metallic spray-painted paper palms
Set out your dried foliage, florals, and paper palms onto a protected work surface in a well-ventilated area. Choose which metallic spray paint colors you’d like to use for this floral wall art and begin spray painting. For this project, Oh Yay Studio used Princess Cut, Bubble Bath, Cheers, First Million, Treasure Chest, Lucky Penny, and Bronzer to create a lustrous metallic fall-inspired palette! Apply several light coats of metallic spray paint until you’re satisfied with the coverage. Allow to dry completely.
Assemble floral wall art onto wire structure
Begin making a structure out of chicken wire for your floral wall art installation. You can make this any shape you’d like to fit your aesthetic! For this project, Oh Yay Studio created a curved, capped piece by cutting the wire into 4 pieces that are about 16” wide and folding them inward. Use hooks to attach the chicken wire structure to the wall, then begin attaching your metallic-painted floral wall art to the wire structure. Start with any long grass pieces, then layer in the larger paper palms. Then add in your dried flowers and foliage, and fill any bare spots with smaller paper palms.
