TRIANGLE

Today I have a nice DIY to make a nice mural for your room. For quite a while I had one of my paintings hanging but as it hung there since 2010 I got fed up with it. So time for something new.

And here is how you do it:

 STEP 0: STARTING IT

- scissors
- glue
- magazine clippings
- a white canvas
- cutting ruler of Stanley knife
- cardboard
- a marker

 
STEP 1: FITTING IT

Take the cardboard and make a sample shape. I chose this triangle shape with the measurements of 15 to 18.  Once you have the sample you can place it on one of the magazine clippings to figure out which part of the page you want to use. If you really like the page you could use it twice by placing the cardboard sample smartly. Once you have placed it mark the corners as shown below.




STEP 2: CUTTING IT

Take the cutting ruler or a Stanley knife and cut from mark to mark to make the triangle shape. 

STEP 3: PLACING IT

Puzzle how you want to arrange your triangles. Take in mind how you place black, white and colour, or dark and lighter images a posing to each other.  When you have a composition you like and start gluing make sure you spread the glue evenly to prevent bubbling of the thin paper or glue smudges.
You can cut the images off at the edge or you can stick them round the curve. I chose for the last. When you are done you could also spray paint it with lacquer to prevent colouring of the images by the sun. Don't paint it in the ordinary way because you could wipe out the images by painting it with a brush.

 

good luck, I hope you try.
