Magazine Strip Silhouette Art

Here’s another Pinterest inspired wall art!

I created a silhouette of a grizzly bear. Due to it’s size it had to be printed on two sheets of paper and tiled. If you want to duplicate this project, you can download the grizzly bear silhouette here.

After tracing it on a sheet of corrugated cardboard I cut it out with a utility knife.

Next I created narrow strips of coloured magazine pages. I tried to include as much typography as possible and a wide variety of bold colours.

Using mod podge and a paint brush, I randomly adhered the strips one-at-a-time until the surface area was covered.

Here’s a look at the completely covered surface area.

I then trimmed the ends of the strips to about a half-inch (2 cm) from the edge of cardboard and used the mod podge to affix them around the edges to the back.

Finally, I finished it off with a top-coat of mod podge.

I love the pop of colour my grizzly adds to the Pinterest wall of inspiration!
