DIY: 1-hour canvas prints.

inspiration:

 

the other day i was walking through walmart and saw these.  

i thought they had some potential, so i took a picture and decided i'd try making one myself.

so i did. and it was way easier than i thought!

i've made two this week, that's how easy they are.

supplies:

blank canvas (any size)

tape or stickers

paint and paintbrush

instructions:

the first one i did by using scotch tape.  

i taped straight lines all the way across the bottom.

then i started on my letters. 

i simply made letters out of tape and scissors.

or you can also use stickers - that's what i did for my second one.

just make sure the stickers are sticky - mine had a hard time staying on the canvas.

 next, after placing all the tape or stickers on your canvas, 

paint entirely over the whole thing.

[make sure that everything you want left white has been covered by tape or stickers.]

let it dry completely, and then carefully remove the tape/stickers.

then lucky for you, you have a cute new art piece to display.  easy as that.

 

and seriously, it took me less than an hour.
