Create your family tree on stretched canvas

I've been into genealogy for quite some time now, and have been wanting to use what I've learned thus far in creating some sort of family tree to show off. I thought about doing a scrapbook, but I wanted something bigger, something I could show off in a big way.

I've finally found the perfect project! Andrea Steed from Scrapjazz recently posted a tutorial on how to create a stretched canvas family tree.

I am not exactly the best painter in the world, but this looks easy enough. I really love the way she uses punched out leaves for each member of her family, and affixes them to the branches.

Most of the items it takes to make this project, like acrylic paint, foam paint brushes, mod podge, brads, cardstock, chalk, and cotton swabs, crafters will probably already have laying around their craft space.

The detail to this project are adorable, and it's definitely something I will be proud to hang on my wall!
