Woven stencil leaf with 3D effect (tutorial)

Today’s project is a DIY wall decor idea that has a 3D effect.  I like to call it woven stencil leaf, because that’s exactly how it looks!

All you need is paper and paint.  Think about an image you would like to paint or use stencil.  Cut stripes and pass them through each other.  An effect we call weaving the paper strips.  And that’s all you have to do to make 3D wall art.  
The project is ridiculously easy to make. And the results are amazing.

Woven stencil leaf with 3D effect

 

3D wall art
 

I had been wanting to give a 3D effect to a stenciled project for a while now.  Previously, I had stenciled a magnetic board to display family pictures. And a stencil wooden tray to use as a decorative accent.

 

So let’s get started with this simple 3D project you can make:
 
Just as quick as 1,2,3…

1  
Using a sponge brush, paint the stencil on two drawing papers in contrasting colors.

When it’s dry, cut one horizontally and the other vertically.

Finally, weave both the papers together.

Put the frame’s backing board on your woven art. And cut the sides to fit the frame.
You can also tape it to keep it from moving.
 
The frame I have is 8×10.

And there you have it! You can give a modern look to any simple art like this.
