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. 

Mesh Wreath

I accomplished the burlap wreath so I moved on to the mesh. It's so adorable on my front door for the holidays. 

Supplies

1 roll of the long mesh. 31 feet long. I think it's 21 inches wide. Sold in every color. Normally $7.99-9.99 a roll. Hobby lobby has on sale this week 1/2 off. Usually every other week it's on sale there. This Christmas wreath took the whole roll. 

The UGA wreath was a roll of the 21 inch wide of the red and a whole roll of 31 feet long probably 6 inches wide mesh. I bought unfinished letters to spell at Dawgs just to make it my favorite SEC team!! 

You pull the loops through the wreath frame like I did with the burlap in the previous blog post. I kept it on the spool and didn't cut it. I went every other red to black. It took so dedication and patience using different colors but it still only took about 30 minutes. 

Burlap Wreaths

I wanted to make a burlap wreath. I saw them everywhere but didn't know how. A friend of mine sat and did them and they are sooo easy. I made some to sell at a Christmas Festival so hopefully they fly off the shelf!! 

Supplies

18 or 21 inch wreath frame 

3 yards of burlap

Ribbon for your bow

To do:

Cut strips of burlap about 6 inch wide. I cut them about a yard long. 

Getting the first 4-5 loops it looks wrong but it starts to get better. 

Make a loop in the middle. Then pull up a loop in the top then the bottom. Push the fabric loops tight together each time adding a loop. Stuff the ends once the strip is done. Do this all the way around. 

I bought the letters at www.craftcuts.com. They were unfinished. The script letters are 12 inch tall and 1/8 inch thick. The 2nd time I ordered them 1/4 inch thick. I used spray paint to paint them. Goes a lot faster them painting them!! 

Chevron burlap initial frame

I got this as a gift and thought it would make the best teacher gift. 

I bought all the supplies at Hobby Lobby. Make sure you get them 1/2 off. If it's not on sale when you go it will be the next week. They rotate every other week.

5x7 frame

Metal letter

Chevron burlap

Hot glue gun 

Cut the chevron burlap. I traced the glass.

Glue the burlap to the glass. Then stick it in the frame. Them glue the letter to the burlap 

And just like that it's all done!
