D.I.Y Quote Canvas Art

Thursday, 7 August 2014


Hey there!

If you've been following me on Pinterest, you'd know that I've been seriously inspired by canvas art lately! I just think it's so cute and its an easy way to decorate any space!
I thought for todays post, I'd show you one of the ideas I saw. It really looks amazing and was so quick and simple to make!

Here's what you will need:




A Canvas in whatever size you'd like. (mine was 10 x 12)
Alphabet stickers
Assorted coloured acrylic paints
White acrylic paint
Paint Brushes

Lets begin!

1. Paint the canvas with different brush strokes using the coloured paint. It can look as messy or as clean as you want. In my opinion, the messier the better!


2. Once dry, arrange the stickers to form any quote you'd like. Once the letters are in place, adhere them to the canvas.


3. Paint over the whole canvas with the white paint. The application of this can also be messy and textured if that's what you desire. Once fully dried, peel off the stickers to reveal your chosen quote. I found it easier to use a pair of tweezers to peel the stickers. Don't worry too much if you peel the letters and find that the white leaked, It adds character!



 And that's it- told you it was easy!



Let me know if you make this DIY over the weekend, id love to see your creations!

Happy Crafting
