Easy Painted Canvas Tutorial

I saw the cutest canvas online and I thought

"Hey, I can do that!"

So I gathered the materials that I didn't already have and I created this tutorial!  It is super easy and cheap!  I plan on creating several of these in different bright colors to hang up throughout my classroom.  Here is how you can make your own!

Step 1:

Gather your materials

1. Spray Paint

2. Clear Acrylic Sealer

3. Masking Tape

4. White Canvas

Step 2:

Tape your canvas

Tip:

Make sure that you tape the sides as well and bring the tape all the way to the back as shown.

Step 3:

Spray paint the canvas

Make sure the spray the sides as well

I used 3 coats

Tip:

I spray painted outside and put the canvas on an overturned bucket so that I could spray the sides easily.

Step 4:

Pull the tape off the canvas

(My boyfriend would not let me do this part.  He wanted to do it and was having too much fun, so I did not complain)

Step 5:

Spray at least 4 coats of Clear Acrylic Sealer

This is your final product

(It is more like the color above, but my camera took a darker picture indoor)

Tip:

If you want a cute way to hang and display your canvas, you can staple pretty ribbons and pearls to create loops to hang your masterpiece from.

Step 6:

Leave a comment on this blog and send me pictures of your beautiful creations!
