I attached the “square piles” onto the support making sure they are aligned. a framed canvas) might work and have the advantage that the whole piece would look a bit more 3D. Framing shops might have larger ones (didn’t check) or maybe hanging each square individually on a smaller support (e.g. I lucked out, I had one in my stash, probably from some garage sale or maybe even from FabMo.Īnother way would be to start with 7” or 6” squares instead on 8” and then use a smaller support that is easier to get. Michaels doesn’t have that size and having one shipped seemed wasteful. I needed at least 32” wide heavy-duty cardboard, ideally in a coordinating color. ![]() ![]() The hardest part was finding the support. Initially, I thought that I’ll center all the squares into neat stacks but decided that that would drive me insane and – more importantly – it looked much more fun if the squares weren’t perfectly aligned. I futzed around with the squares until I was happy with the design and then glued them together (I used the clear glue I bring from Germany but a good not to liquid glue or even a high-quality glue stick should do). Then I cut 6”, 5”, 4’, 3”, 2’ and 1” using the base colors but also adding in coordinating colors for visual interest. ![]() I laid out my nine favorite color squares leaving them 8” x 8” and then cut nine more from the same colors to a size of 7” x 7” using a guillotine (looks neater than cutting by hand). I wanted to make a 3 x3 of panels so I choose nine different colors making sure I got several of each large piece plus some coordinating colors. I found some large paint chips (8” x 8”) as well as smaller ones at Fabmo and took home a selection of colors that go with the colors in my home and looked good together. What is more: it was amazingly easy to make. I really like it, if I do say so myself, it goes well with my Eichler home and the existing color palette. ![]()
