First a bought a small canvas at a local discount store for only like $2... then I used magenta, orange, and yellow-orange acrylic paint and blended it like a sunset. Let it dry a day. Now because I can not draw/paint pictures, I found the tree branch image online as stock photo, copy and pasted into photoshop so I could set it at the size I wanted. Then I printed it out onto black construction paper, regular printer paper would wrinkle more when glueing.. Then cut out the image and covered it in black paint (I remembered how construction paper colors tend to faid and it looks more painted on this way. After it dried (only took about 15 minutes) I glued it onto the canvas with mod podge, and lastly glued on the buttons.
