#302 - August 2007 IDEA: Create an atmosphere of serenity with a headboard displaying a ginkgo-leaf motif using contrasting colors of rustic-weave grasscloth. COST: $61 TIME: Two hours HOW: Cut two 12"x18" panels and one 12"x 32" panel from 1/2" MDF. Cut two different color pieces of grasscloth for each panel 1" longer and wider than the panels. Also cut a Kraft paper template that matches the size of each panel. |

| To create the leaf
design, print as many leaves as desired from the ginkgo-leaf pattern link above. Cut out the leaves, and arrange them on the Kraft paper template as desired. Then trace and cut the leaves with a craft knife. Stack each pair of grasscloth sheets, tape them together, then tape your Kraft paper template to the backside of the grasscloth stacks. Cut the leaf shapes, slicing through both layers of grasscloth. Next, apply the grasscloth pieces with the leaf cutout openings to the MDF panels using spray-mount adhesive. Then simply glue the cutout leaves into the openings. SUPPLIES: Grasscloth: Waverly.com |
