    Step 4

    • Using liquid glue and inspiration from the photo to place the elements, glue the kraft arch to the white background and the palms to the back of the vase. Attach strips of foam adhesive to the top and bottom of the vase to stick it to the arch and the white background.

    Step 5

    • Attach small pieces of foam adhesive to the remaining coral and stick it to the bottom right of the poster.
    • You can glue the top of the fins or leave them loose so that they bend slightly in the vase.

    Here's a poster inspired by Matisse's cut-outs and Yves Klein's blue... Feel free to use it as inspiration to create your own cut-outs.
