Assemble

Apply wood glue to the three ledges. Attach both pieces together using clamps, making sure even clamping pressure is applied.

10

Select a color

Use your favorite paper to add a pop of color to the art piece!

Paper should be cut to slightly less than 5 by 5 inches with the bottom corners rounded off. I suggest picking a few of your favorite colors and cutting them all to size at the same time. That way you can store them together in the slot and switch them out on a whim.

Estimated time: 5 minutes

Hang and Enjoy

Now that all of your hard work is done, select a choice spot on the wall and use either a screw or nail to hang your project. Once it is hung, feel free to switch out the colors as the seasons change or for whatever occasion arises.
