Making Tree Growth Charts for Kid's Playroom

I'm excited to share one of the projects I've been working on!

 

It is a Children's Playroom.

 

Overall, it has been quite a large project

 

including

 

Tree Growth Charts

 

Dollhouse Shadowboxes

 

Whimsical Mirrors

 

Chalk/Cork/Pegboards

 

Flowers, birds, clouds, and stars.

 

Today I thought I would show you the Tree Growth Charts.

 

 

 

 

Well, that's a sneak peek

 

because first I want to show you

 

how I sketched it out for wall placement.

 

 

 

 

There will be two large trees,

 

one at each end of the room.

 

The trees will be 5' wide x 7' tall.

 

The items in between are large dollhouse shadowboxes

 

including a firestation.

 

Because the project is not installed yet,

 

I don't have the final photo

 

where the leaves and tree will be mounted on the wall.

 

But I can show you the process

 

and individual pieces as I have them so far.

 

I used quality red oak plywood.

 

(about $20 per 4' x 8' sheet)

 

 

 

I did a freehand sketch directly on the plywood

 

but, believe me, my eraser was hard at work.

 

You could make a large paper pattern first and then trace.

 

Here is a photo of the base standing against the wall.

 

 

 

 

Now a view of it laid out on the floor with the leaves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, you get the idea.

 

It will be fun to share the photos after installation.

 

I will show you some of the other builds for the room soon!

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
