Love canvas

This was such a fun and easy craft!
We used a 
11x14 white canvas, 
buttons, 
red shaped heart cut out
Hot glue gun
Black acrylic paint
Vinyl cut out letters
We used a ruler to make the lines them we painted the black stripes
Let it dry.
Hot glue red buttons on the heart cut out 
Then once the black paint is dry (we used a hair dryer to hurry it up ) glue the heart on top of the canvas. 

Add the vinyl cut outs (used my silhouette machine)

Life is better sign

I bought a piece of plywood at Home Depot to see how this project would turn out. I cut the vinyl with my silhouette machine. Spray painted the wood with paint and primer spray paint in ivory color. Added the vinyl letters after it dried. Once the vinyl was on I sprayed it with khaki spray paint. Once that dried I removed the vinyl letters. I'm going to add a hanger hook on the back and it's ready to go. My fav!!! 

Canvas & vinyl

I love this project! I painted the canvas with gesso primer. Let it stand 24 hours. Then paint it with a base coat. Add the vinyl on top then paint the top layer. Once it's dry remove the vinyl and it shows the base layer. 

Race Bling Vinyl project

I got a silhouette machine for Christmas and it should have steam coming out of it. I have been using it a bunch! It's the coolest gift ever! 
I love to run and have received a few medals so I made a plaque to hold them. 
I pained the wood black then put the vinyl on. 
After thinking the vinyl could get scratched or moved over time I made this for my cousin. 
I painted it ivory. Let it dry the. Added the vinyl. Then sprayed it navy. Once it dried I removed the vinyl and you could see the ivory from below.
