In this instructable, I will show you how to make a home décor circular board using acrylic paint and a Medium density fiberboard board (MDF). The theme of this project is based on the Rainbow colors. The leaf is painted with acrylic colors. The colors of the rainbow are: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. This decorated board is very compact, light in weight and looks cool. Let’s get started!

Supplies

· A Circular Medium density fiberboard (MDF board ; diameter = 30 cm)

· Acrylic Paint box

· Paint brushes

· A plant leaf

· A color plate

· Tissue paper

· Water

Step 1: Preparation of Circular MDF Board

Clean the MDF board with soft cloth to remove stains or dirty marks.
Take white acrylic color and a paint brush. Paint one side of the MDF board with this color and leave it for dry for few minutes.

Step 2: Painting Leaf

Now, take a plant leaf (you can use any plant leaf as of your choice). Apply paint on the other side of the leaf where the volumetric veins are present.
After applying color on the leaf, put the leaf on whitely painted surface of the MDF board and lightly press it with a tissue paper to get good and visible impressions of leaf veins.
After printing one color wash the leaf as well as paint brush properly with water and then apply other color.
I am using rainbow colors one by one to paint plant leaf and printing its impression on MDF board.
I have very limited colors so, I prepared Violet color by mixing following colors:-

Blue Color + Red Color + White Color = Violet color

Step 3: Paint It

Apply different rainbow colors one by one to paint plant leaf and make at least three impressions of each color.
You can put the painted leaf in random way or in a regular pattern on the board.
I am putting the leaf in random way on board to get random and colorful expressions.
Be careful while putting leaf on the board and removing it otherwise leaf may damage.
After applying each color leave the board for dry for few minutes.

Step 4: Final Presentation

When the colors are dried if you see certain stains or marks on the board then you can use white acrylic color to hide these stains or marks to give a final finish and leave it for dry for few minutes.
Now, your own DIY colorful home décor item is ready to present.
You can paste this board on your room wall or in your showcase with the help of double sided tape.
