Oh Sweet Canvas!

Once again Pintrest inspired me to make 2 new projects, although I really only like the way one of them turned out I will post the like to one of my inspirations at the end of my post.

This is my favorite!

Both of my projects are the same concept just different quotes and methods to do them. The first one I did was taking my blank canvas and sticking letters onto it and then spray painting over it. Nothing fancy about it really.. Although I did figure out those stickers don’t stick to a blank canvas very well. So if you decided to do this project paint your canvas first with white paint or whatever color paint you want to show up after you remove the letters. My original plan was to take the stickers off after the spray paint dried, except for some reason (probably because I skipped the painting the canvas step) the spray paint ended up bleeding under the letters so I couldn’t peal the letters of, so I kept the colorful letters on the canvas.

My second project was just a spur of the moment kind of thing. I did a painting awhile back and really liked it when I first did it, but now I hate it. So I decided to do the same project on my big canvas, but with a different quote. I LOVE the way this on turned out. It is way better then the first one by far.

The second project took a bit more time then the first one because I had to peal all the letters off. Fyi if you decide to do this one, make sure you take the letters off with the paint still wet, because if you let the paint dry it is really hard and annoying to get the letters off. I used a razor blade and my finger nails (which are now black and gross because of it). The letters slid under my finger nails a few times while removing them so now the tips of my fingers hurt and I had to cut my nails : (
