Geometric Art {that anyone can make}

I have been digging all the use of geometric patterns in design recently... so much that I have started bringing them in to almost every room in my house! I've heard triangles are the new chevron. What do you think? {Tomorrow I'll be sharing a HUGE project and I can't wait for you to see it!} Until then, this will have to satisfy your craving for geometry. My easy, {less than $5} geometric artwork:

Find out how I made it.... {in only a few hours and for less than $5!}

I started out with a piece of white foam board {I got mine at Dollar Tree... I use these for everything!} I already had some double-stick tape on hand, as well as cardstock. I did end up purchasing about 5 or 6 sheets of paper to get the colors I wanted, but I had almost double the amount of triangles I needed! I would say six sheets of 12x12 cardstock would be plenty for this project.

I cut my cardstock into 4" squares {using a paper die cut machine} and then sliced those in half to create my triangles. It is important to get all the triangles as close to the same size as possible for your pattern to look good. I cut all of my triangles out in about an hour, and then it took me another hour to place them and adhere them in place.

I laid out my pattern 2 columns at a time to make sure I liked the colors and direction of the triangles. Then I stuck each piece down with two pieces of double stick tape. Here's what it looked like when I was done:

For the size of my triangles, there was about 2 inches left at the end of the foam board, so I just cut it carefully with an exacto knife to get a smooth edge. That's it! I love that the foam board is so light {but it still has a canvas look}... you could easily hang it on the wall, or just prop it up on a dresser or mantel like I did:

This is a tiny sneak peek of what is coming in my living room reveal tomorrow.... I can't wait for you guys to see it!!! Eek!! Nat and I are leaving today to travel to SLC for lots of fun blog happenings. We will be on Studio 5 tomorrow morning, so all you Utah readers make sure to watch at 11:00 am!
