CANVAS WALL HANGINGS

Some people do not like painting or are daunted by the size of a white canvas so if that's you then why not try using your canvases in a different way and still make wall art but with paper, card and embellishments instead

Here I have made 4 different types of canvas art using scrapbook paper, die cutting and embellishments.



Work out your theme and colour scheme just as you would when card making, plan the dies to use and their placement, not that it always goes according to your initial plans.

Cover the canvas in your chosen paper with a pva glue. Double sided tape works great with paper to card but not to the canvas as need a proper wet adhesive.
While waiting on that to dry cut out the dies you propose to use, emboss them if necessary.

Test out their placement on the canvas where you think looks appealing, probably changing your mind several times over!! Once happy again adhere with pva glue.

Now the fun bit, add some glitter as accents, attach your embellishments then set aside to dry. I find attaching them with a glue gun worked best as you dont want things falling off when the canvas is hanging up.

Lastly sit back and admire your creation.
