Baby Owl Tree Nursery
by Monica Nowac
Tree Mural Above the Baby's Crib
A picture of the trunk was drawn on transparency paper and then was projected onto the wall. I used a small paint brush to outline the trunk and then came back over it with a narrow roller to fill in the large branches and trunk.
A smaller paintbrush was used to paint the details of the smaller tendrils. It took 2 coats of paint to get the coverage that I wanted. Then I chose an array of different patterned scrapbook papers and cut out various sized leaves which were then run through Xyron adhesive machines so that the back of the leaves were sticky. The next step in the baby owl tree nursery theme wall mural was to peel them off the adhesive paper. One after the other they were stuck on the limbs of our painted tree. As an afterthought, a baby owl was added to look over the crib. BABY OWL and LEAF PATTERN I know that there are those of you that will want to decorate your baby's nursery with baby owls after seeing this cute baby owl in the tree nursery theme. I wanted to let you know that you may be able to recreate the pattern pieces to the baby owls and the leaves in the tree mural by enlarging the pictures and tracing them. I don't think that Monica would mind a bit as long as you leave a nice comment for her nursery design.
