Easy Wooden Wall Art

Using your 1x2 boards start creating your design.  Place your boards on your plywood and try out different configurations, be creative!

I wanted to keep this design simple and easy.  I did this by using my 1x2's as spacers so I didn't have to measure!  Sa-weet!  

You can see in the photo above the spacers helped while I measured and marked my cuts.  All angles on this project were cut at 45 degrees on my miter saw.  Start by cutting the 45 degree angle, then place it where you want on the board and mark where to make the second cut.  No need to measure!

I used the same process to do my straight boards.  Measuring, marking, and cutting as I went.  The scrap 1x2 boards as spacers are a great help too, don't forget to use them!

TIP-  Once you have your design layed out on your plywood and all your cuts are made...take a picture or mark your pieces with numbers to help you remember the pattern.  Trust me this is worth it!  

Sand all your pieces smooth.

I choose to paint my plywood white so my design pieces would pop.  

I layed out all my design pieces and used this, this, and this to stain my 2x2 frame pieces and 1x2 pieces.  Having it layed out helps to make sure you are keeping the stains in a varied pattern as you go.

Once I had everything painted and stained I attached my frame pieces to my plywood with wood glue and a nail gun using 2'' nails.  Then I used wood glue and placed my 1x2 design boards into the frame and let them dry.  You could also put weights on to hold them in place like I did with my Wooden Triangle Hearts.

Once you are done show off your beautiful art in your home!  Ahhh love!!
  It is so fun to create your own art!
It looks great on my Modern Rustic Buffet, but I am sure it will be moved around the house...I like to change things up!
The best thing about this project is you really can't mess up, create any pattern you want!  Having the space between the boards makes it easy and fast to create!
Be sure and pin this for later so you can make your own wooden wall art!
