Canvas Makeover

For this coming year I've volunteered to help out with the crafts for our MOPS group. So part of that is getting to experiment. Test things out. Make things work the way they're supposed to. So this was an idea I saw on a few different blogs.  It's one of the many things that is on our list of things to try to make. I picked up this "lovely" piece of art at a friend's yard sale for $0.25.

Next, I sanded down some of the paint. Then I sifted through my stack of scrapbook paper and found two that somewhat worked. I used Modge Podge and glued them on. Since my paper didn't wrap all around the edges I decided to hot glue some ribbon on.  It's not my favorite piece, but it served it's purpose as far as experimenting. 

Next I went out and bought these two 12x12 canvas at HL, on sale.  While sifting thru all my scrapbook paper I came across these two other sheets that I decided would look marvelous in my bathroom!  I also used ribbon for the edges on them.  The 5/8" ribbon is the perfect size for the edge of these canvas'.  Anything bigger kind of hangs over.  You can always paint your edge or get enough paper to wrap around the edge as well.

Now just picture the color of my walls a rich teal blue color, and it would make these look even better!  I love how they turned out!  And I love the idea I saw on another blog that if I get tired of these, or decide to change my decor, I can just go buy two more pieces of paper and glue them on top and I'll have two all new pieces!
