DIY:Fun and Easy Wall Art!

As a sister of Delta Gamma sorority, I was able to finally find my perfect little (love ya nadine!) and make some crafts for her! I decided to make some fun wall art that could easily spruce up the decorations for big-little week and add lots of color. Here’s how I did it:

What you need:

  • A canvas
  • Construction paper
  • A small bottle of Mod Podge
  • 2 Flat brushes (sponge and regular)
  • White paint
  • Letter stickers (can be easily found at a crafts store)

1) Lay out the construction paper on the canvas and make sure it fits on the canvas. Take a quarter of a cup of the Mod Podge and coat the canvas with it (adjust measurement of Mod Podge according to your canvas). Place your construction paper on the Mod Podge and then coat the top of the construction paper with another quarter of the Mod Podge. It may look very wet, but once it dries your painting will turn out a lot better. Let dry completely (should end up being shiny and smooth). 

2) After the Mod Podge is dry, cut the letters and lay them out into the words that you like.

3) Peel and stick the letters onto the canvas.

4) Next, cover the whole canvas with the white paint. You could also use spray paint to make sure the canvas is covered completely. I used paint to make it look a little less perfect :)

5) After the paint has dried completely, peel the letters from the canvas. However, be careful not to pull too hard because your construction paper underneath may rip!

6) And AT LAST! Your painting is ready :) Feel free to embellish with sparkles, glitter glue, gem stones or anything your heart desires.
