Hi everyone!
I’m in a sorority, and my big sister’s birthday just passed! This year I decided to make her gift instead of buying it! I went on Pinterest for crafting inspiration and decided to make her a monogram canvas!
Before we start our project, we need to gather our supplies.
- Print out of desired monogram
- Canvas
- Acrylic paint (I chose three different colors)
- Paint brushes
- Pencil
- Tissue paper
- Painter’s tape
- Scissors
- Sharpie (As fine of a tip as possible)
We’re going to start our project by painting our canvas.
I chose to paint mine yellow with lighter yellows swirls around the edge.
This website is a great place to print your monogram for free.
Once you print out your monogram, you’re going to lay a sheet of thin tissue paper over-top of the monogram and trace it.
I chose to use a yellow Sharpie because my canvas is yellow. I recommend using a color that is fairly close to the color of your canvas. If you use too dark of a color, you might not be able to cover the line with your paint.
Next, we’re going to peel up the bottom-half of the tissue paper to see if the ink has transferred.
Once our monogram is traced, it’s time to paint. Painting the monogram can be quite tricky, so make sure you don’t have too much paint on your brush and use small strokes.
Here’s the finished product!
Happy crafting!!!
