Hello everyone and happy Hump Day!
I know when I posted my last blog a few days ago I told you that I would soon be posting a tutorial on a nail design with the DIY striping tape...Well, that didn't happen. I attempted to do a cute chevron design on my toes and completely failed...So, I'll keep working on perfecting my use of striping tape, but for now, here is another DIY canvas!
I made this one for my mom, Nancy, to give her mom (my grandma), also Nancy, for Mothers Day and she absolutely loved it! I created this before I created this blog, so I don't have progress pictures, but this is super simple, so hopefully you can all get the hang of it with my completed pictures!!
Tools:
- Canvas (I used 16x20)
- Paint brush (Small for details)
- Large sponge (I got mine from Wal-mart)
- Paints
Before I start, I just want to give credit to my inspiration for this project. I was browsing pinterest for cute canvas ideas for my grandma and came upon this canvas and my mom and I instantly fell in love! This canvas is no longer available for purchase, but was made by PrairieBoutique on Etsy.
Now, the creation of this simple and sweet canvas!
Step 1: Paint your canvas using your sponge and whatever color paint you chose for the background. I used a beige color. Let the paint dry for a few hours or overnight.
Step 2: Use a ruler or straight edge (I used a piece of paper) to paint the words on in a straight line. I freehanded the words because I felt that it gave the canvas more character, but you can certainly print the letters and transfer them with ink like I did here.
Step 3: If your words aren't showing up too well, simply go over them again.
And ta-da!
I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
