There are many ways to show your love on Valentine’s Day and one is to create a custom canvas art with a sweet sentiment that will be treasured forever. See how easy it can be to create this DIY with heart from Debbie Hayes of My Patch of Blue Sky.
Supplies Needed:
Debbie created her custom quote on a Cricut machine using a heavy, adhesive-backed material. She then cut and pasted the letters to fit her canvas. Feel free to use mylar or even a vinyl stencil as well.
Next, Debbie used a palette knife to gently smooth a thick coat of Texture Effects over the words, making sure that all of the words were covered evenly. Now, while the Texture Effects is drying, gently remove the lettering and tape to reveal the embossed letters. On detailed letters such as an "o", you may need to use a toothpick or something sharp to help remove the centers.
Once your letters have completely dried, lightly sand the letters to remove any sharp or raised edges. Now you are ready to apply two coats of Pearl White Metallic Paint over the entire piece - letters and canvas.
We hope we've inspired you to create something personalized this Valentine's Day. This DIY is also great year round for a motivational phrase you'd like to put onto canvas! See more on this post via the link below.
