Paper mache tree on wall

This is the first post of my now completed paper mache tree project :) This post contains affiliate links (see bottom of post for explanation). Hope you had a merry christmas and didn't eat as much food as I did! The day after a big one, I always absolutely crave to get creative. My mind spins with possibilities for some reason, and choosing one project is almost too hard. But I have been working on a project in my girls' room, with hopes of painting a mural in there too. We have only been…

I will post additional pictures as we progress. The photo here is of the main trunk. Branches will drop down from the ceiling as if the tree grew through.

The paper mache tree project was on hold for a while. My plans got messed around a bit when I put the husband onto learning about EMF's, as our meter box (including the smart meter) is located right outside the kids' bedroom. He started researching, didn't like what he was reading, bought an EMF reading device and decided that we are either moving the meter box, or moving them to a different room. Total tree & mural plan stuff up! We'll get a quote for the relocation of the meter box, and in…
