Do you walk through stores, look at wall decor and think "I could do that"? You are not alone. I am guilty of this too. But, you know what? You can complete these projects with just a few supplies!
Today I want to share a canvas I made for my granddaughter's room.
And you know what? You do not need to know how to draw or paint to complete this!
My supplies include a canvas, ink sprays and ink pads, paints, texture paste, and my favorite Helmar products - 450 Quick Dry Glue, Crystal Kote Fixative, and Crystal Kote Gloss Varnish. The most important part of this project are gift bags! I am recycling ones from my granddaughter's baby shower! They have the perfect designs for creating home decor for that sweet little baby!
I began by creating a background on my canvas. I used texture paste, paint, inks, and more. There is no right or wrong, no specific directions. Just create a background to match your design.
Cut out the designs you want to use and decide the placement on your canvas. Using your 450, glue them in place.
Make sure you concentrate on the edges as well.
I printed the title and sprayed with the Fixative before adhering. This will prevent it from smearing.
Once everything is secured and dry, spray with Gloss Varnish Finish. This will protect the canvas from dust and dirt. Hang on the wall and stand back and admire! Isn't this just darling! And what a great way to recycle.
I hope you are inspired to create a decor piece for your home. Please share your projects with Helmar on Facebook and stop by the store for all your adhesive needs.
Thank you so much for joining me today! I look forward to seeing you next time and don't forget to stop by and check out the wonderful projects posted on the blog every week!
