All I did was buy white art canvases that were different sizes from a craft supply store. Then I arranged them how I thought would work (of course copying the Pottery Barn version) and then painted the tree with acrylic paint.
I used scraps of fabric I had leftover from another project to cut out the leaves and then glued them on. This would work even better with pretty craft paper as the leaves but I have so much scrap fabric.
Voila a total Pottery Barn copy-cat but for waaay less money! It's a little tricky to hang, but thankfully my hubby is very good at that sort of thing.

How beautiful that turned out! You're so talented!
Thanks! It really took no talent at all though, trust me.
It's so funny , this does match the pillow I made! :) Your art looks gorgeous with the bedding. This is such a beautiful nursery!!
It turned out just fabulous! Love the colors you have used!
Hi Jess, I love how it turned out. It does seem like an easy project. I drew a large tree in my boys bedroom so I know that drawing a tree is not as hard as it seems. I like the idea of drawing them on different size canvas.
Wow, that is awesome. I love the colors. The bedding in the crib is perfect with it! I can't believe you did that yourself! It definitely looks professional! Nice job!
I just found your site this morning (early morning feeding, can't get back to sleep). Just yesterday I was looking for ideas for stretched canvas (btw- they're 40% off at Michael's through today and there's a 40% off coupon floating around- makes them dirt cheap and hard to refuse). Yes! Plus, I love sewing and love your buttercup bag modifications. Thanks!!
