I hope you all are enjoying this fine day! I am bringing you a late DIY post. I meant to have this posted on October 1 (last Saturday) but I got really busy and didn't have time to sit down and write. I will have some time tonight so I will make sure that this Saturday's post gets written! Anyway, today I am showing you how to make the cutest little canvas sign as part of your Thanksgiving decor. It is super easy but time consuming. I do apologize as I do not have any pictures of myself making this but I did have a video but I had to take it off Youtube due to copyright issues. I was listening to music while doing the DIY and my microphone on my phone picked up the sound. Let's get started, shall we?
Materials:
- Paint
- Paintbrush
- Canvas
- Sharpie type marker (in the colour of your choice)
- Washi or some other type of embellishment
- Alphabet stickers
Step 1:
Take your paint and paintbrush and apply a first coat to the canvas in the paint colour of your choice. You will need to set this aside to dry so make sure you have a space. Like I might have mentioned in the video, you make need to do a second coat, depending on the colour and type of paint.
Step 2:
Once the canvas is dry, take your alphabet stickers and carefully stick them to the canvas. Be sure to use a sticker that is sticky, but not so sticky that it will damage the canvas, take the paint off or just ruin the whole thing in general.
Step 3:
Once you have gotten the alphabet stickers on, take the Sharpie marker (or a similar marker) and trace around each letter. If it is easier, you can do a word at a time like I did in the video.
Step 4:
Next remove the stickers from the canvas very carefully. You may want to use some tweezer if you have them handy. I found this helpful when I was removing the stickers off my canvas.
Step 5:
Once you have all the alphabet stickers removed, take that same marker you used to trace around the stickers and fill in each of the letters until you have filled in all the letters of each word.
Step 6:
For the final step, take your washi or your embellishment or whatever you chose and stick it to wherever you think it would look nice. I just took some leaves washi tape I got at Michaels in a big pack and ran it across the bottom just to give it a slight border. I also did my lettering on different levels instead of just straight across. Once you have adhered the embellishment or washi to the canvas, you are done. You have completed your little Thanksgiving canvas for your home decor!
Well everyone, that was it! I hope that you enjoyed this little tutorial for this simple little Thanksgiving DIY! I sure enjoyed making it. Be sure to show me in the comments if you attempt to make this little DIY. I hope you all have a pleasant day! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Be sure to return as there will be many more posts coming in the future. Until next time, Happy Crafting.... and Happy Thanksgiving!!! xo
