Quickie Canvas Craft

This is the best type of craft ever it is fast it is fun and it is easy...

I have seen these on Pinterest everywhere ( sorry but I don't have the original source) and really liked it so I decided it was time for me to make mine...

I am going through a use everything I have  before I buy more mode so that made the decision on what size to make it easier I just used the canvas I had and I found the chipboard letters in my stash as well....


                                    These chipboard letters are from Kaiser craft.....


I used spray adhesive glue to attach my letters to the canvas...Why ??? don't know I just had it on hand I guess....worked well.....

Then I lightly sprayed the canvas white.....this was hard for me because I want to do it so it is finished straight away not lots of light coats but I was good this time and just gave it a light spray and let it dry....


Then gave it another light spray and let it dry....


And then gave it another light spray and then let that dry....


OK you get the picture....It took me around 4 coats sprayed lightly to give me the finish I wanted.See the little white horse in the back ground well that's another post soon....

So now my beautiful canvas is waiting for its new place to live.I want to paint my office and hang it in there but that isn't going to be for a couple weeks so for now I will just be patient...


The possibilities are endless for this project  and it is one I like to do as it is cheap fun and most importantly quick....


Now in case you are wondering what the word "Andever" means it is "OUR" special word.Once upon a time I told Kev I loved him forever and he replied "Andever" since then it has stuck and means a lot to us.We even named our house this...corny but nice....DO you have a house name? or do you have a word that is special just to you?

Today I am sharing at Wow us Wednesdays
