Crafty Monograms on Canvas

Oh, goodness! Two weddings in December, one in February, two in March, and one in May!!!

Is it just me or is EVERYONE deciding to get hitched? haha

Anyways, here is a fun fabulous {cheap} wedding present...




___________________________________________________________________________________





So whatcha need?
Mini canvas (I got mine in a pack from Michael's)
Masking tape
Letter Block
Paint
Paint pen (not pictured)
Paint Brush

Surface to paint on, I used a plastic bag
A Helper to help get the tape off


So whatcha gotta do is...

1.  Tape evenly spaced stripes on your canvas with the masking tape.  Fold it all the way around the sides, so it stays down.  I just eyeballed way the tape should go, but you could measure it out and mark them with a pencil or something.




2.  Now paint the sucker!



3.  Let them mostly dry and then peel off the tape.  You may want someone to help.
     And let them finish drying!




4. Then further personalize the gift...





5. Hot the letter block onto the canvas.  I then added a little blue heart to put some more blue.



And voila!!
