Safari Wall Art

I wanted a large piece of artwork to put in my twins' room that goes along with their Safari/Animal theme. I saw a large cork board at the thrift store for $3.00 and couldn't pass it up. My daughter wanted a picture of a monkey and my son wanted a picture of a cheetah, so this is what I came up with!

This is what you need:

1. A large cork board
2. Paint (I picked it up at the recycling center for free)
3. A computer or coloring book
4. Construction paper (I used black)
5. Pencil
6. Scissors
7. Paint brush
8. Tape

 

This is what I did:

1. I picked out paint to apply to the cork board.
2. I then painted three rows (I tried to make it look like a safari sunset).
3. I went online and Googled "safari coloring sheets". I picked out sheets that were easy to cut out.
4. I then cut out the animals and placed them on black construction paper.
5. I traced the animals, cut them out, and placed them on the cork board with tape. 
6. I drew the tree free hand, cut it out, and also placed it on the cork board with tape.

 My twins LOVE it!
