Gold Studded Wall Art

I am one of the biggest advocates for making your own art. I have been posting about it numerous times here and other places and I know I am not the only one who thinks this.
It’s affordable, you get the size you want/need, the exact color and pattern you had your heart set on, there is no settling for something that’s just okay, if you mess up or want to change things up you can easily do so, and you have a one of a kind piece.
Materials:


Canvas – Whatever size you need


Metallic Gold Spray Paint


Gold Thumbtacks – I used about 4 small boxes


Painters Tape
1. Starting at a corner, run a long piece of tape diagonally to the other side. Repeat, making an X.


2. Working in each triangle, run pieces of tape diagonally, working your way down. Don’t fully press tape down. I spaced mine 1 1/2″ apart. You will run four pieces of tape, making two sets of lines. Repeat this for each triangle section.


3. Lift up each ‘point’ on the triangles and trim excess tape to make a perfect point. Smooth tape down.


4. I wanted to leave a gap around the edges for the thumbtacks, so I measured half-way down from the bottom point, to the bottom of the canvas.
Run the tape around all sides, overlapping each on and smooth down.


In a well ventilated area, evenly spray on two coats of paint, but do not saturate. Tape will begin to lift if it gets too wet.


I always get super impatient and rip tape immediately off. The paint dried crazy fast.
Absolute LOVE!


Next I started in the corners and pressed the thumbtacks in and spaced them a finger width apart.
