Once the plywood and frame were stained I moved on to the wood slices… I stained the frame using a mixture of American Walnut and Dark Walnut. This frame can easily be made using the Kreg Jig if you have one. Once the plywood was stained I created a super simple frame made with 45-degree angles. I knew there would likely be some small gaps in between the wood slices, so I decided to stain the plywood so the background wouldn’t stand out as much. You could use any size wood or canvas as your backdrop. I had some plywood left over from my large DIY chalkboard and used that as the back of my wall art.
I’ll list the general items I used, but of course, you can customize the amount, size and colors to match your style and home.
You could also have your wood slices go over the edge of the wood and skip the frame if you want.

So depending on what you have available and the size you want to create, this could be a free or very low-cost project! I mention the tools I used for this project, but you can also just use what you have available, and if you don’t have branches or a saw, you can purchase wood slices from craft stores, Etsy or Amazon. I was able to create this framed wall art using leftover materials we had available, along with some fallen branches in our backyard. So instead I decided to incorporate some of the other colors in the dining room into the wood slices. In doing so I realized that the natural wood slices didn’t pop as much as I wanted and the wall would look a little to bleh for us. I’ve always painted every apartment/home we rented but this time I decided just to keep them beige. Some of you may already know this, but we are renting and our lease is up in a few months. We were not home when they were doing the cleanup and repairing the fence so they only left a few branches for us to use, but it was more than enough for the art project I’ve been wanting to finish for quite some time now. The tree that fell was actually from our neighbor’s yard so my husband had asked if we could keep some of the wood. Thanks to a little upcycling, this project was made using some of the fallen branches from that tree.
If you follow me on Instagram you may remember this photo I shared a while back of a tree that fell in our backyard.

It’s no secret that I love using elements of nature in our home, and today I’m sharing how to make wood slice art, which just so happens to be one of my favorite DIY art projects to date!
