If you’re looking for an easy weekend decorating project, try this do-it-yourself with our uncut mat board, artificial greenery, and spray paint. Uncut mat board, also called a pre-cut mat blank, is simply a mat board without the window cut-out. They are great for all kinds of creative endeavors.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>We used a combination of our 4Ply and 8Ply uncut Alphamat and Alpharag mat boards for this project. The technique is incredibly simple. Lay a piece of greenery on a board. Spray it and the surrounding mat board to make a reverse stencil. Let it dry and then frame it. Krylon makes 3oz containers of spray paint called “Short Cuts”, which are the perfect size for doing individual prints. Be sure to do this in a well-ventilated area due to the paint fumes.\u003C/p>\n\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY - Easy Botanical Artwork Project\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Supplies:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Uncut 4Ply or 8Ply mat board in white or black (standard sizes like 8.5x11, 8x10, 8x12, 9x12, and 11x14 are good choices)\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Silk or plastic greenery – look for bold\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Spray paint in blue, red, yellow, green, purple, orange, pink, etc…\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Painter’s tape\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Cardboard, newspapers, or a drop cloth for covering your workspace\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv>\n\u003Ch2>Step 1\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cfigure>\u003Cimg class=\"wp-post-1174 wp-image-1179\" src=\"/frame_blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Step-1.jpg\" alt=\"Step 1\">\u003C/figure>\u003Cdiv class=\"step-img-container\">\u003C/div>\n\u003Cdiv class=\"step-details-container\">\n\u003Cp>Using the painter’s tape; cover the outside edge of the mat board to create a border.
