DIY Canvas Art

 

I have seen some really cool canvas art in stores and thought I could do something similar myself. I have also seen some cool ones on Pinterest and posted them on my Pinterest boards and some of my favorites are found here. I went out to hunt some local thrift stores to find some canvas (because buying a canvas at a craft store is SO EXPENSIVE!) and this is what I found:

Cute, but not what I am going for.



I painted over the picture with a blue/green paint.



I then added a word and some branches and a little birdie! Cute!

DIY & and ? Art!!!

I have seen some canvases in the stores that simply have signs and symbols on them. I really like them, but they are usually pretty expensive, so I decided to make my own! I had two canvases in the basement and made my own "symbol art". I like the & and ? so I went with those.

Here is how they turned out!

I painted the canvases a turquoise color and then I added the symbols in black (made from my Cricut) and then I went over it all with some brown paint to make them look a little aged! I love them!
