I have joined a few amazing bloggers to bring you a DIY train! Today's theme is Kids room decor! I hope you enjoy and please go check out their amazing work! I have linked them below.
Creating things is what I love to do. It is the way I let the creative juices flows and it truly keeps me sane. I have recently redone Camila’s wall and I am loving the outcome! I have made everything on the wall, but today I am going to show you how I made the canvas with the ABC’s.
Below are all of the items I used:
Cricut Explorer Air 2
651 Vinyl
Contact paper
Cricut tools
Acrylic pain
Canvas (purchased at dollar tree)
Paint brush (purchased at dollar tree)
I created the template using my Cricut and I used 651 vinyl as the template material. Once Cricut cut the template I did a reverse weeding method using weeding tool. Reverse weeding is removing the letters from vinyl rather than removing the extra vinyl and leaving the letters stand alone.
Once I weeded my vinyl I used contact paper to transfer the template onto the canvas. Once I placed the template exactly where I wanted it I went ahead and put pressure on it using my tool. I made sure that the vinyl adhered well this is to avoid the paint from bleeding.
I used acrylic paint and used a thin layer of paint. I only did one layer but you can always add a second if youd like after the first layer is dry.
The paint dries quickly. I waited about 10 minutes before removing the vinyl from the canvas! This canvas project was super easy and super cute!
