Photo Transfer: Scan in and print your pictures onto photo transfer paper. Cut them to the size you desire. Iron them onto the canvases following manufacturer's directions. Let the transfer sit until it's completely cool before handling it.
Stencil: Use stencil to trace letters or shapes onto the back of the paper. Remember that you must trace the letters backwards for them to appear correctly when you cut them out, so place the stencil front down before tracing. Or simply stencil on cardstock and adhere it to the canvas. You can also stencil directly to the canvas if you wish.
Stamping: Use paint with larger stamps and apply directly to canvas, or stamp on paper or cardstock and adhere to project.
Hardware:
 - Attach screw eyes to hold projects together when using several canvases. Or tie ribbons and eye screws to connect the components.- Attach canvases together with hinges or clips to create a tri-fold display. - The combination of canvas and hardware allows a simple towel hanger to become an integral part of canvas art. - Attach a simple hook in the bottom part of the canvas to turn it into a great addition to any room. Faux Finish: Crackle: Crackle is not just for walls and furniture. Crackle can also provide unique coordinating corner accents. Try to think "outside the box" when you experiment with this fun medium. You can get some great textures and nearly any color you want. Remember, the wetter the crackle paint is and the heavier the crackle is applied, the larger the cracks will be on your finished project. |
Faux is a French word meaning "false" or "fake". Creating a faux finish on any surface allows you to give the appearance of a surface being something other than what it is. Use a sponge, a crumpled piece of plastic wrap, or an old rag, to create a different look and add texture to your project.|
