DIY Lighted Natural Wall Art
Here is a really cool DIY wall art idea that you might like. A canvas with lighted branches and moss is perfect way to bring some nature and light into your interior. To make such canvas besides lighted branches you’ll need a bundle of sticks, a bag of moss, green canvas paint, canvas molding paste, paste spatula, a paint brush, E6000 glue and a staple gun.
Instructions
Mix molding paste with green paint and apply the mixture to the canvas. Let the paste dry overnight and apply some green paint. When it dries, glue lighted branches and sticks. Next, glue moss to cover the cords and hang up your new wall art when glue is dry.

I really like that style of lighted branches. I just bought one but it’s stands on the floor rather than hang from a wall. I got it from a site called worldtohome.com, they have a pretty decent selection of these kind of lights. If anyone is interested here’s a link.

I have these lights…Where are you running the cord, or for the pictures sake is it hiding behind the candlestick…?

I wish that the directions offered a little more..direction. However, in order to keep the cord concealed, my suggestion would be to still cover the cords with moss, however, add a hole that you can put the cord through to the back. There you can put stuff needed to have battery operated lights. I am not sure what the staple gun is used for, however, you could use it to make sure that the battery stuff and cords stay somewhat mounted on the wood siding of the canvas.
