Canvas art project

Good morning all! Today I am going to share some projects I have been working on for the gallery wall in my daughter's bedroom.

When we first moved into our new home we just slapped some pictures on the wall of her room and called it a day. That wall over her bed has been bugging and nagging me every since. I just knew we could do much better.

Over the weekend I worked on some canvas art projects to add to our gallery collection. Here is what I came up with.

I began with just a plain canvas from the craft store.

For the paint strip canvas I just divided my canvas into thirds and then used painters tape to mark the lines.

Then I just painted on my three colors and removed the tape.

Once the paint was dry I used a white paint pen to write some fun names for the colors (my daughter's came up with the names)!

The quote canvas was an easy project as well. I used my Cricut machine once again to cut out my letters in vinyl. I applied my vinyl letters to the canvas and then just painted over them. 

Once the paint dried I removed the vinyl letters. Because this was a canvas the paint did bleed a little through the edges of the letters but my daughter and I agreed that we liked the look so I left it alone!

 

I can't wait to get her gallery wall completed! My daughter is working on painting her own canvas art for the room and then we can begin the headache fun of arranging everything!

 

Have a great Tuesday! Don't forget to come back tomorrow for another linky party!
