Winter Holiday Canvas Wreath DIY

I love decorating for Christmas. This year holds a little more meaning in the decorating department since I've incorporated a number of my own DIY projects. This "Winter Holiday Canvas Wreath" project that I'm sharing today is one of my favorite projects as of late. I created this as part of the Blog hop, hosted by Hometalk.com and CountryLiving.com!
For this project, I used a square canvas (15 1/2 By 15 1/2 inches).
To repaint the canvas, I used a sponge brush to apply the Waverly brand chalk paint (purchased at Walmart). "Elephant" was the name of the color.
After 2 coats of paint, your canvas will look like the below photo.
MAKING THE BOW
Step One: Grab the long burlap ribbon piece and form shape like below image.
Step Two: Fold shorter ribbon piece so that the ends meet each other. Place short ribbon on top of long ribbon.
Step Three: Cinch tops of bow.
Step Four: Add plastic tie to secure bow.
Step Five: Wrap short "decorative ribbon" around burlap bow pieces.
Step Six: Turn bow over and fluff to make it pretty! :)
Optional Step: If you want to enhance your bow further, simply add 2 extra pieces of your "decorative ribbon." Use glue gun to affix pieces. The strips were each 3.5 inches long.
Nothing like a handy dandy glue gun to put everything together!
Here's how the finished canvas looks. I think it's a nice alternative to hanging an actual wreath! :)
