- Canvas (size doesn't matter)
-Paint (in colours you prefer)
-Markers
-Stamps
-Glue
-Printer and Printer paper
-Scrapbook paper
Step 1:
Paint the canvas in your desired color. I have painted mine purple because I wanted the figure of the girl to pop. You can decide on your own what color you wish to paint the canvas.
Step 2:
Choose a font and font size to create the saying "She turned her cant's into cans and her dreams into plans". Next, cut each word out and glue to the dry canvas.Step 3:
Find some sayings you want to include on your canvas. For the one I made for my sister, I wrote, in purple marker "Suivez votre coeur" (Follow your heart) and "believe". I also wrote some numbers down the sides. Next, take a lighter color of the color you painted the canvas and blot it onto the canvas. (see picture)
Step 4:
Once that is dry, you can start putting the girl onto the canvas. To do this I printed out a picture of a silhouette and traced it onto the canvas. Next, I painted it black. Once that was dry, I took some scrapbook paper to make the shirt and hair. For the skirt, I googled sheet music and just printed some off. I crumpled it up and ripped it into my desired length of strips. Glue all of these on in the desired areas. If regular glue doesn't work, use a glue gun.
Step 5:
Once it is completely dry, use a clear gloss protective sealer so it will protect all your hard work. Just a light coat will be good. Leave it to dry and then wrap it up as a gift or hang it some place in your home!
Happy Crafting!!!!!
