This project is a fun one to give as a gift, basically a layout mounted on a 12 x 12 canvas which can be hung on a wall or propped on an easel. I like to frame layouts too, but a canvas gives you the freedom of dimension and going over the edges. You could do this type of wall hanging in any size and anyone would love to get it as a gift. This wall hanging was a gift for a 50th wedding anniversary and will be cherished by all for some time to come.
Supplies needed:
- Canvas
- Papers and embellishments
- Paint
- Photos
- Adhesives - I used the Helmar Tape Runner, Helmar Acid Free Glue, Helmar 450 Quick Dry and Helmar Zap Dots.
I have used most Helmar Products before my Guest Design gig here at Helmar, but a new one to me was the tape runner and I have to say that I am more than impressed, wow, it is applies so smooth and talk about hold! It is one I will add to my repertoire!
First step: Paint canvas
Second step: apply your base paper using the Acid Free glue, covering the entire surface, smoothing as you go.
Third step: Layer, Layer and Layer! Use a combination of the Tape Runner, 450 Quick Dry and Zap Dots to adhere your items.
Forth Step: Add a length of ribbon to hang with. I used the 450 Quick Dry to attach to the sides.
Fifth Step: Wrap and give as a gift!
I want to thank Helmar for this wonderful opportunity to use their products to create with and share with you all, it has been a great experience and I hope that I have inspired you to create using Helmar products!
