After we saw such a positive response to our felt toucan wall hanging, we knew we had to make more toucan projects for summer! Instead of another 3D toucan design, Krista took her original illustration and turned it into this adorable 2D papercut toucan wall art that you can hang as seasonal home decor.

If you want to switch things up once the weather starts getting colder, it’s super easy to store this away for future years. You can also replace it with another one of our papercut art designs.

Toucan Wall Art

Toucan Do It!

This papercut toucan wall art is very easy to make. This project entails cutting and gluing cardstock, so it could be a great way to occupy your kids for a summer afternoon! If you’re using a cutting machine, you can download our SVG file. Or, if you’re cutting by hand, we have a PDF template for you.

Picking your Cardstock

Making this toucan wall art is just a matter of layering your cardstock in a visually appealing way. You can choose your own color palette, or you can replicate the teal shades that we used. We used cardstock that had a slight canvas texture to give the wall art a more professional look.

If you are using a cutting machine, you will need 12″x12″ cardstock for the finished 9″x9″ design. To make it easier to print and cut the template by hand, the PDF version is an 8″x8″ design so that you can use regular-sized cardstock.

Layering the Pieces

Download the files below and cut them according to the template. If you are cutting by hand, you may want to use an X-Acto knife to get some of the more intricate details. Once you have everything trimmed, start layering the pieces the same way we did.

We used a hot glue gun to assemble the flowers, but other than that, we used a glue dot roller to attach the layers to each other. To give the toucan some depth, we recommend using little adhesive squares behind the toucan and branch.
