DIY Canvas Art
So you know when you do that really silly thing where you go to Hobby Lobby & you tell yourself you are just there to look around?! Well I did that, I don’t know why I continue to test my self-control when I already know its very low when it comes to purchasing decor. Oh well, I was “just looking” for some office canvas art & I stumbled upon 3 whole isles of everything I never knew I wanted! These were exactly what I had in mind for my dream office project!
Needless to say, I was in trouble, and my bank account was telling me to calm down. So I decided if I couldn’t afford to buy it all I would try & make it! The small canvases ranged from $13.99-$15 & the larger canvases $25 and up. So I searched around & found a pack of small & large blank canvas for less than $5! I purchased the small & large flower prints along with my blank canvases & got out of there ASAP because, you know, the lack of self-control thing. Then, I got them home & got to work!

Supplies:
- Blank Canvases (here’s a pack)
- Spray Paint (I used this gold color)
- Masking Tape
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Paint/ Small Brush
Process:
- First I chose which canvas print I thought I could easily replicate. I decided I’d give the cursive writing a try. I took my two larger canvas boards & wrote out with a pencil the sayings I liked. Use your ruler to make sure your words are going in a straight line. Feel free to erase & rework the parts you don’t love.
- Once you have the outline the way you like it, use the small brush to trace the words.
The black canvas was originally different, but I didn’t love it so I covered it with black wrapping paper & wrote something different with a gold sharpie marker. You are running this DIY show so get creative & keep working on it until you love it!
- The next set of canvases I created were more decorative & even easier! I taped off different line patterns on the small canvases & just spray painted them with my gold spray paint!
That’s it! Simple DIY canvas art that saved me a bunch of money! I really love how great they look hanging in the office. The possibilities are endless for this project, you can create whatever style you want to fit your unique spaces!
