{happy monday!} hope you survived the weekend….and got lots of crafting done! i got a couple valentine’s day crafts done and i can’t wait to share them with you this week! first off, here’s a quick tutorial for my v-day canvas from my mantel. simple, easy, and oh-so-lovable :)
its is the star of my Valentine’s Day mantel! the red pops very nicely against my white mantel.
supplies: canvas {mine is 11×14} , red spray paint, vinyl, digital cutting tool {i used my CAMEO} or exacto knife, white spray paint {optional}.
1. i did a quick coat of white spray paint to make sure my canvas was solid white, but this is optional.
2. cut out your design onto vinyl. i used my Silhouette CAMEO TM with Ariel font and a heart shape to create my XOXO design. remove extra vinyl leaving the letters.
3. transfer vinyl letting to your canvas. canvas is kind of slick, so it can be a little tricky to transfer. go slowly and do one letter at a time.
4. spray paint your canvas red. try to get good coverage with 1 coat because the vinyl may curl with additional coats.
5. after the paint has dried, simply peel away the vinyl and you’re left with a great looking love day decoration!
don’t want to go to all the work of making your own canvas? well, guess what…you can just print it out and slap it into a frame. yup, i created a free printable for you!! {i remembered you wanted more printables from the Reader Survey :}
