Some DIY lovin'

I know a lot of you have probably seen this project all over Pinterest, but I actually made it for myself, and I had to share for a couple of reasons: 

Reason 1: It was so fun. If you are like me, I get half way into a DIY project and wonder what the heck I was thinking and I want to give up. Not the case with this project. 

Reason 2: It is 100% customizable. You can make it classic, contemporary, red, yellow, green, blue, whatever you want. 

Reason 3: It looks so pretty/cute/fancy in the end. I try to avoid DIY projects that look like DIY projects, and this nailed it for me. It really looks like something that could have been sold for lots of money at a boutique.

So, first off, here is what you will need:
  • Canvases
  • Elmer's glue
  • Spray paint
Then you dive in! Find a pattern that inspires you, and draw it on the canvas with Elmer's glue. You can trace it lightly with pencil first if you want to be safe. 




I wanted three canvases with a design and one with quote (they were hung in our office, and we need major motivation and inspiration in there).


Once the glue is dry (I let mine dry overnight), spray paint the canvases the color(s) of you choice.


I did the design canvases in white and the quote canvas in green.



Last, you arrange and hang (these were hard to photograph because the light has to be just right to really see  them, but I did the best I could).




So pretty. I really think you should all make at least one. Now, go have a great day, and don't forget to enter the La Posh Giveaway! I will be so jealous of the winner. Serious.
