No. 23: Canvas (Room Decoration) DIY



Hey Guys!
So today I am doing to make 2 DIY's for room decorations from Canvas. I think this is the cutest and the easiest way to make it. Enjoy!

I. Cute Wallpaper
All you need:
1. Canvas (I used 30 x 40cm)
2. Acrylic Paint
3. Sponge
4. Masking Tape
5. Scissors/Cutter
6. Pallet
7. Pensil
8. Glitter
9. Glue
10. Paint Brush

How:

 1. You need to make a pattern with your masking tape, I made this tribal look but if you want to make other patterns then that's fine. When you tape them, make sure to press & put them neatly so that the pattern looks nice in the end

2. If you're making the same pattern as I am, cut the sponge into 6 pieces because my pattern has 6 layers. FYI: One piece of sponge equals to one color. So it is according to your pattern, if yours have 8 then cut it into 8 pieces.



3. After you cut the sponge, pick out the color for your craft. For today, I have chosen blue. I used the titanium white and phthalo blue from Reeves. We are going to color it from the lightest color to the darkest




 4. Once you are done making the first color, add a little bit of the 2nd color that you have chosen, and then re-do the second step until all the layers are done. After you have finished dabbing the sponge to the canvas, let it dry for around 10 minutes.








5. When its dry, take off the masking tape slowly and carefully. And if this is good enough for you then its done! But in my opinion, it needs something more so I decided to add some word.


6. First, find some ideas (quotes, word, drawing,etc.) that suits the canvas well. As for me, I picked the word 'Blue' because, well.. its blue. And if you pick a word, make sure its a bubbleword so it is easy to cut. If you are under 15 years old or so, have some supervision when you use the cutter.





7. When you are done cutting it, stick the paper to the canvas with the Masking Tape so it wont move around easily.


 8. Paint the glue to the part that you want to glitter it and make sure you got all sides. Then when you are done with that, glitter it with the glitter that you have. For this one, I used 2 bottles of blue glitters. After all the glittering is done wait for around 5 minutes to settle down. And while waiting you could clean up all the mess that you made.






After it has dried off, take off the paper carefully and yeah, thats the finish look for my work!

II. Canvas Frame
For the second craft, I made this canvas frame from used canvas so it doesnt have to be a new one. This one is actually like 3R's and it is quite tricky to make but its worth it.

All you need:
1. Used Canvas
2. Spray Paint
3. Stapler
4. Pliers



1. First you need to take the stapler out from the side of the canvas with the pliers.



 2. Then spray the canvas as for your liking, for myself I chose the color Colt Yellow. After you have sprayed them, let it dry for around 15 minutes



3. After you are done waiting, you can just draw on the sides or put some memorable stuff that you had in your life which I think is pretty cute



And that is it for todays post, I hope this DIY helped you with your room decor or just to give you some ideas
