Hand paint a tree or use vinyl decals?

Here is our crib bedding:

I originally wanted to paint a tree to echo the one in the blanket, behind the crib. Kind of like this idea (but different tree):

Any tips on how to do this? Or should I consider wall decals.  This is the best one I found so far but I don't love it.

    I love this tree, I would have used it in my nursery if I had a girl:

    But if you wanted to paint your own tree, find an image of a tree you like, rent a projector and then trace the outline of the tree to the wall and paint it in.

    I am handpainting a tree, because I want it to be permanent so that LO can't peel it off the wall.  .

    I am using an over head projector to trace the outline, then going from there.

    Paint, for sure.  I painted a 9' tree in my granddaughter's room, it took 3 hours and the sample size paint was less than $4.00.  Plus, when she is old enough to understand that it was painted for her, it will be even more special.

    She has the Dwell "Blossoms" bedding paired with Serena & Lily's "Charlotte" and little birdie accents.

    I purchased our wall stickers from etsy seller Leenthegraphicsqueen.

    Best prices, quick delivery and was easy to apply to the wall. Plus if she wants to change it when she's older, we can simply remove it from the wall.

    This is what we purchased below. We also bought a large damask like "P" logo above her crib and 4 smaller rasberry birds that we added around the room. ALL for $45.00!
