DIY { U & I } Type Writer Key-Canvas Art!

 i got the two pack of 8x10 and 11x14 canvases at Big Lots. I thought the price's weren't that bad.  I had NO CLUE what I would use them for??? OTHER THEN I WOULD USE THEM winks! I was thinking subway art, or mod podged paper of some kind with monogrammed letters.... then the idea came... I thought of the U&I because of Valentines. HOWEVER, i think this is cute to leave out all year. Imagine in a family group collage or next to some pics of you and your sweets.

i cut the letters and the "&" from my cricut using the "Platinum Schoolbook" {tall ball} The letters were set at 8 inches and the "&" was set "fit to page"

 

after there all cut- place the stencil on top of your canvas so it straight and even. Then with a flat bristle brush start dabbing and stenciling using black acrylic paint, holding stencil firmly in place with other hand.

 

i then took the brush and lightly dipped it in the paint and lightly brushed it around all four sides, giving it some more demension. 

 "TA-DA" i am titling them -TYPE WRITER KEY- CANVAS ART! I think they look like type writer key marks. ;)

 

 

I LOVE THEM, AND AM SO HAPPY WITH HOW THEY TURNED OUT! SQUEAL!
