Create a wabi-sabi inspired art piece using simple materials.

You will need:

A large piece of polystyrene
Sticky back plastic
Tissue paper
PVA glue
Paint - white and beige for a faux limewash effect

Method:

  1. Select your chosen polystyrene piece. (I got mine from a delivery package. Most DIY stores will sell pieces too!)
  2. Attach a layer of sticky back plastic to the polystyrene (any basic sticky-back plastic will do). This allow for a better effect when the tissue paper is applied.
  3. Smooth on PV glue and build layers of tissue paper to your desired texture.
  4. Allow to dry.
  5. Create a faux limewash effect by bending your chosen colour paints.
  6. When dry, attach hooks to the back and style on your wall.
