Habitat bright ideas with Fleur Thorpe – DIY projects
Make artwork from your families photos and paint in their favourite Resene colour to create personalised art for your home.
Step 1: Take profile photos of your kids (or yourself, partner, family members, pets etc) standing side-on against a plain wall/background.
Step 2: Measure your pieces of wood and using a computer, re-size your photos so that they will fit on to your wood. Fleur’s wood was from an old pallet, 9.5cm wide and 13-22cm high.
