Imagine this tree as the focal point of the mural you've been working on. Out in the forefront with your mural behind, giving it a 3-D appearance. Ah the beauty!

And it's EASY! "How could that be?" (you say to yourself). Well this is all there is to it: The stencil exists of the repeatable tree trunk (1" wide by 15" long) and a branch stencil complete with oodles of slightly veined leaves (8.5"x15.5"). Simply repeat that tree trunk upward from the floor until you reach within 15" or so of the height you wish to achieve. Now add branches to your liking until your tree is covered with branches and leaves. That's all there is to it! Pinky Swear!

Like the looks of one tree? Now consider creating "woods" along one wall by simply doing more trees, some close together, others farther apart for realism. WARNING! You may just have neighbors "popping in" unannounced, once they hear of this magnificent wall, to take a gander so be prepared!

But wait! There's more! Try using just the branch stencil to create branches of leaves trailing over the kitchen, encircle the powder room ceiling in them! Put them on the fronts of your closet doors or on that tired old hope chest at the end of your bed.
