How to Make Decoupage Wood Slice Art

We’ve had a mild winter week here in Illinois. Mid 30-degree temps and little wind. The other day when I went out for a run, I actually heard birds chirping and a little bunny rabbit ran across my path. It put me in the mood for spring even though I know that’s at least 2 months away. To keep the spring feeling going, I created simple decoupage wood slice art with nature prints.

DIY Wood Slice Art with Botanic PrintI love any project that brings nature inside.

Whether it’s artwork, a craft project, or even a new plant or bouquet of flowers.

 

Wood Slice Artwork on Kitchen CupboardI made 3 of these decoupage wood slice art pieces to hang on my kitchen cupboard.

They’re super easy to make and doesn’t take long at all.

Sizing sheet music before decoupaging to wood sliceTo create jagged edges, carefully tear the sheet music to size with your fingers.

It doesn’t need to be perfect so don’t get too picky.

Spread Mod Podge on the back of the sheet music with a small brush or foam brush. Attach the sheet to the wood slice, smoothing out bubbles. You can use your fingers or smooth the paper down with the flat edge of a credit card.

I left a white border around the nature prints so they’d stand out better against the sheet music.

After gluing it in place, smooth out bubbles with your fingers or the edge of a credit card.

I decided not to add a coat of Mod Podge over the print because I wanted them to have a matte finish.
