This easy glue-stick method uses quick-cut fabrics to create a
landscape wall hanging. No templates or patterns, just fabric and small
sharp scissors. Start with a favorite picture or your imagination to
develop depth and focus for your personal wall art.

This wall hanging uses components of popular wildlife patterns, combining

fabrics add interest to the designs.
