This is one of those things I saw as an idea on Pinterest and actually completed!I bought a $1 painting at Goodwill. It was really awful, it looked like someone's practice piece from that time they took the beginner painting course at the community college. But $1 for a canvas is a good deal!
I covered the canvas with a piece of fabric I dyed a few summers ago. When I got it stretched and tacked on I almost stopped. It looked so nice. I am contemplating getting some smaller canvases and stretching some pieces the kids dyed on them and hanging them in their rooms. But in the end I did continue.
I placed some stick on lettering in the saying I had picked out.
Spray painted the whole thing and peeled the letters back off.
Some thing I learned:
-use fatter letters (I wish more of the fabric showed through)
-use a different type of letters (since I used fabric, where as the tutorial had you paint the canvas the cheap scrapbooking letters I got did not stick very well and spray paint got underneat them in spots making it harder to read)
-be more careful with the spraypaint and don't get interupted while spraying (you can see a few drips)
