Canvas Quotes

A good portion of this weekend was dedicated to getting our creative juices flowing! It all started with this great desire within to do something different with our "kitchen table wall". I did a little searching on pinterest (surprise, surprise) and came across a really neat project which you can find here and once I got the husband on board I made it our weekend mission. Friday afternoon, we hit up JoAnn's and bought our supplies and Friday night once the little miss was slumbering, we got down to business! On a side note, have I ever said how much I l-o-v-e that my husband helps me with all these crafty projects of mine? ... Because I DO!!! 

Some instructions on 'how to' just incase you would like to give it a go!

Materials:

• canvas of all sizes
• acrylic paint
• vinyl letters - you can find them where they have the presentation boards, Walmart was the cheapest at $3.99 a pack
• scrapbook paper
• sandpaper
• sponge paint brushes
• mod podge 

The 'how to':

• apply mod podge to the canvas and adhere the scrapbook paper to it 
• once you have allowed several minutes for the mod podge to dry place your vinyl letters onto the canvas
• start painting the entire canvas with a light coat of paint (you want the scrapbook paper to lightly show through the paint)
• after the paint is dry you can then peel off the vinyl letters
• if the paint it too thick on canvas or if you want more of a vintage look then rub the sandpaper randomly over the canvas but be careful not to press too hard
• last apply a coat of mod podge to the entire canvas for a finished look

... and the finished product!
