friDIY: Wood Canvas Wall art

I am back for another installment of friDIY another Simple DIY project, this week’s project will be a Simple Decorative Wall Art.

While I was at a Craft Store a few weeks ago on a hunt for the materials for a Christmas Project my toddlers would make their grandparents & great grandparents, I found this pallet canvas and I had to get it. I found DOZENS of ideas on pinterest but I ended up settling  on this design in hopes of  making a wall photo collage with it….

 

1. Decide on your design. I chose a pretty simple one since this is my first project of this nature.

2.Get your stencil or design ready I made my stencil with my Cricut Expression 1 Electronic Cutting Machine with no cartridges included using my Alphalicious cartridge. (My favorite & Most used Cartridge).

3.Trace your design onto the Canvas

4.Begin painting in your design. Remember that Acrylic paint is a pain to get out of clothes, so wear your “paint clothes.” I prefer using smaller brushes when I paint, (I feel like it gives me more control of the project).

5.Let project dry.

6.Paint the beautiful project up for all to admire your wonderful work.

This week I also added links to purchase the materials off of Amazon if you choose. How convenient is that J

I let my Cricut do the work for me on this part. But if you don’t have access to one you can print off a set of stencils to use for this project.
