A lot of people are often put off with
doing a canvas. The best way to approach
doing a project like this is think of it as a large card blank.
Shopping List:
White Canvas
Design Sheet
Backing Papers
Union Jack Ribbon
MDF pieces
Red Buttons
string
Brown/blue distress ink
Method
- First of all start off with layering the base of your canvas using your chosen backing papers. Tear them into sections to create a patch effect. Attaching into place using a wet glue.
TOP TIP: by tearing them into sections it enables you to create definition and also leave blank areas for you to use your stencils with distress inks - Decide where you are going to put your main features. Once this has been decided then you know what your main layouts will be.
- Using your free stencil with distress inks. Rotate the stencil design around the canvas and rub ink onto the stencil to transfer the pattern onto the canvas.
- Once you are happy with the first layer of distress ink, use the other contrasting colour and create more definition by rubbing distressing ink around the edges.
- Once the base of the canvas has been completed, fix in place our main features as per point 2.
- Attach the mdf pieces with craft glue as shown, using wet glue or silicone glue.
- If using silicone glue, make sure you leave your work to dry for about an hour.
- Using your bunting paper, cut out 2 bunting strips and fix to the canvas as shown, attaching into place using craft glue.
- Cut out your all your extra embellishments and sentiments, taken from your free papers and your free digital collection and fix to the canvas as shown.
- Attach a few buttons with craft glue around the main topper.
- Finish by rubbing more distress ink so it all blends together.
