Super Cool, Super Easy, Super Inexpensive: Canvas Wall Art Tutorial...



-Canvas Tutorial via Brassy Apple-



I'm finally getting closer to actually starting on a project. Yay! 


My budget is still pretty tight, but my Ebay sales have been great this month and I just earned my 4th Amazon card which I got through Swagbucks -if you decide to join make sure you use the referral link provided and make sure you don't navigate away from the link-. I'll be telling you more about this in a bit. 


First, I want to show you this really awesome project/tutorial that I discovered yesterday. I really think you are going to like this one. It's one of my favorites so far.


I found this super cool, super easy and super inexpensive canvas project at Brassy Apple. The tutorial, done by Meagan, shows you step by step how to turn your favorite quotes into beautiful wall art for your home or business.


Here's what you will need for this project...


1. Fabric


2. Contact Paper


3. Spray Paint


4. Staple Gun


5. A printer and an exacto knife -or you can use one of those neato Cricut machines I told you about recently-


Unfortunately, I do not have a printer or a Cricut machine, but I'm thinking there might be other options that I can experiment with. 


When I worked at the daycare, I learned a lot about contact paper and I think there might be a way to do this without having to print anything. I will have to try it out and see what I can come up with. 


I will let you know how it goes!


Follow Meagan's step by step instructions and when the project is complete you will end up with fabulous wall art like this...




-your friends and family will be so impressed with your art and moved by the inspirational messages displayed on your walls.-
