Cut out the shapes, and arrange them on the wall using strips of painter’s tape. Group small, similar pieces together to make a greater impact.

Once you have an arrangement you like, mark the spot on the kraft paper where the nail will go. Hammer in the nail, and then take down the paper. Hang your art.
