Coral Silhouettes

So in addition to my glass float inspired vase, I also created some art for my 'vaguely coastal' guest bedroom.  My theming is becoming less and less vague, as you can see. :)


These were really easy to make.  I started with three 18x24in. canvases and contact paper.  After doing a little coral research, I drew three different coral shapes onto the contact paper and cut them out.  The bright corally orange is a color that comes from the bedding.  I adhered the cut out coral stencils to the canvases and used a roller to paint over each canvas until it was covered.  When the paint was dry, I removed the stencils and they were done!  I also ended up sanding a little to give them a slightly weathered look, but it isn't that noticeable. 


Other than cutting out the coral on the left, this project was quick and easy.  I finished it in a day!  The guest bedroom is coming together!

  9. I love these! I am obsessed with coral right now. I love that you made these yourself, and the colors are beautiful! I will have to try this and see if it can look anything close to coral!
