DIY Scrap Wood Spring Art

Supplies needed for this project:

• scrap wood (I used leftover shiplap from our Master Bedroom Makeover)
• 1×2 pieces of wood for the frame (I used leftover pieces from our Nerf Gun Wall as you can see from the orange color)
• Restor-A-Finish
• black paint
• wood glue
• twine
• staple gun and staples (optional)
• nail
• D-ring hanger
• greenery
• miter saw (optional – you don’t have to have mitered corners for your frame)

• Start by deciding on your size. There's no right or wrong - just decide how big of a space you want it to fill.
• Cut your scrap wood for all four sides. This may take some practice depending on your skill with a miter saw. It took me a bit to get used to it.
• Then use wood glue to attach the corners together. I also used staples for added security.

Then use paint or stain for the front of your frame. I used stain first, but needed a little black paint to cover the orange of my scrap wood. I dry brushed it on in a non uniform way - just get a tiny amount of paint on your brush and lightly brush it on.

Now for the inside of your frame.

• Cut thin plywood in equal measurements to fit your frame.
• This will vary depending on how big you made the frame - I initially planned on three, but messed up one of the cuts so two it is!
• Paint the front (and back if you want) of your wood whatever color you want. I used a scrap white paint we had in the paint stash.
• Once it's dry, you can add to the frame. I squeezed it in through the back and pushed it as far towards the front as I could. It fit super snug so there was no need for any kind of glue for this part.
• Add a hanger to the back and use twine to hang from a nail in the wall.
• Add a sprig of faux greenery and that's it! A fresh new spring DIY project using all scraps!
