Ta Da Easy Art Work
This Ta Da easy art work was an alternative to the magazine base I used in my “I think you may be my favourite” wall art. Again I was looking to fill a space in the bathroom with bit of colour. This version is even easier. Instead of glueing the magazines down, paint random patterns on the canvas.
Materials Needed:
- Canvas
- Paint in a variety of colours
- Contact Paper / sticky vinyl
- Print out of the the word or phrase on standard printer paper
- Masking tape.
Method:
Remove the backing from the contact paper, and stick in place on the painted canvas. Brush a light coat of paint as a top layer, allowing some of the bottom colour to show through. I used old house paint for this.
Once dry, peel off the contact paper, the abstract painted pattern will be visible in the space left by the vinyl letters.
Variations:
Customised this method for any shape, word or phrase – perfectt for a kids name in a nursery, favourite song lyrics, or shapes. No artistic ability required, other than cutting, and holding a paint brush.
