Graphic Tree Art for $5

 Another take on the Popular Tree Graphics

The things you will need:

-Paint Color of your choice ($2.50, from the "oops" colors at Home Depot)

-Paint Brushes

-Fishing Line

-Small hooks ($2.50)

First, make your way to the woods. Find a fallen branch that speaks to you. When choosing, look for hard woods, not pine. Make sure there is no rot or bugs. Once you have found your decorative soul-mate, bring home and clean up.

Once you have cleaned and shaped up your branch, begin the painting. I chose white to stand out against our dark wall. Lay the branch on it's side, paint every crook and cranny you can get to. Allow the first side to dry, flip and repeat.

 Now, choose your placement on the wall. You will probably need two people for this part. One person hold the branch in place, while the other strategically places the small hooks on either side of key support area.  I only had one area at the base of where the smaller branches began. 

Lastly, tie the fishing line on one hook, wrap around the front of the tree, and then tie tightly to the other side. Repeat, depending on the size and shape of your branch.
