I love wall art with depth.
This piece is something I’m trying out for my office. It will be one of a few different pieces in the cluster, but I haven’t figured out the rest yet. I also wanted to try out a new technique – sewing over a raised bit of hot glue to get more depth to the piece.
This piece is something I’m trying out for my office. It will be one of a few different pieces in the cluster, but I haven’t figured out the rest yet. I also wanted to try out a new technique – sewing over a raised bit of hot glue to get more depth to the piece.
The first step is to paint the canvas. I chose to do stripes, painting the base color, white, first and letting it dry.
To transfer the image onto the canvas I used the old-school pencil transfer. I colored on the backside of the paper with pencil to cover where the name is printer. Then, placing the name on the canvas, centered in the open area, I traced the printed font – leaving behind enough of the lead on the other side so that I could see the outline.

Enjoyed the project?

Oh wow... so simple yet it looks amazing 😁 I'm making these for my co-workers (who are preschool teachers) and all my kid's teachers this year... maybe I'll add some cross stitching since I'll use the same thread 😁👍 Thanks for sharing I'm super excited!
