So I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I finally got it done this morning. Quite pleased with the result.. 🙂 Think I’ll have to make a couple of these as Christmas presents too, but will change the wording.. The possibilities are endless.. Thinking about doing an ABC one for Magnus as he’s learning that at nursery at the moment. This only cost me 6 euros to make. 🙂
How to make your own personalised canvas
First of all start with a blank canvas (or if you don’t want white letters paint the canvas first), then position stickers where you want them. On the left hand side it was easier write backwards. So for example with the word JUL you start with the L… so it’s all aligned. Here’s what it looked like after I had finished spelling my words
My stickers didn’t stick all that well to the canvas, so I used a re positionable glue spray. When you start painting over the stickers do it slowly and make sure that all the stickers are really well stuck or the paint will leak under the letters.
As you can imagine the stickers are unusable after you’ve painted over them. When everything is well covered WAIT until it’s completely dry.. I got a bit too excited.. also use a pair of tweezers to remove the stickers so you don’t make any marks. that’s it! EASY! Let me know if you have any questions I’ll be happy to answer you. My 4 year old is running around flying paper planes at the moment, so I might have missed something out.. 😉
The colour I used is called Pewter. Good luck! hx
