Canvases with Writing

To add to my last blog post with the bathroom décor, here is another item you can add for decoration. Again, it matches the color theme to my roommates' and I's bathroom and definitely belongs in the room. It's super cute, easy and adds character.

Supplies needed:
A blank canvas, paint, fabric paint, a pencil, Elmer's glue, a paint brush, and clear sealant spray.

Step 1:
Measure out the chevron lines 1 inch apart.

HINT:
Draw the chevron completely out so it's easy to paint inside the lines.

Step 2:
Paint each chevron line one color after the other dries.

Step 3:
Sketch the letters and design (in this case the heart) with pencil on the painted canvas.

Step 4:
Trace the sketched out letters and design with fabric paint.

HINT:
It is very easy for the fabric paint bottle to get air bubbles in it and splatter the paint all over, so be sure to get as much of the paint towards the tip of the bottle to help that from happening.

Step 5:
After the fabric paint has dried for about 3-4 hours, paint the inside of the heart (or whatever design) with glue and sprinkle sparkles over it until it is coated.

Step 6:
When the glue under the sparkles is dry, spray the clear sealant coat over the sparkles.

Find a spot to hang your canvas and then you're finished.

Here is a small canvas with a cute saying that you can put pretty much anywhere in the house. I chose to put it in my bedroom because it's cute and felt like it fit best in there.

Step 1:
Paint base coat on the canvas. (In this case I chose an antique white)

Step 2:
After the base coat has dried, draw the letters and design (in this case the flowers) with pencil.

Step 3:
Trace the pencil with fabric paint.

Step 4:
After the fabric paint has dried for about 3-4 hours, paint the inside of your design (the flowers) with whatever color you choose.

After the paint is dry, hang your canvas up and you're finished.
