Description

A friend of mine had a birthday coming and she has always been a fan of the handmade and the Harry Potter films.

Instructions

  1. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 221509 17391899 10155009162256153 861554208 n

    Rip up some pages of the book and lay them roughly over the canvas to gage how many you need. Ripping the pages is better than cutting because the ripped edges smooth down better when glued and dried.

  2. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 221528 17393103 10155009162266153 1299871826 n

    Begin to glue the pieces down onto the canvas, apply glue only to the back of the paper you're sticking down Over lap and mix up the words in different directions, overlap the pieces.

  3. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 221553 17467568 10155009162466153 1162915371 n

    Once the paper is dry, write on and map out your wording. I chose to use my own handwritten style.

  4. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 221630 17440149 10155009162431153 2052517767 n

    I went over this to build up the letters so they were thicker and easy to read. This was done carefully and a few times to make sure all edges were neat.

  5. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 221748 17467736 10155009162611153 2137688359 n

    Apply glue over the top of the paper and lettering. Let this dry over night preferably. I applied a sprinkling of glitter around the lettering and applied a few more layers of PVA. Around the edges of the canvas I also glued and smoothed down to create a neat view from all angles.

  6. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 222013 17439787 10155009162651153 506446918 n

    The edges once dry I painted with glitter paint. This took a few layers applied once each had dried.

  7. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 222032 17439528 10155009162711153 1045111816 n

    Finished off with a layer of PVA on the edges, this keeps the glitter from shedding when moved.

  8. Small 116144 2f2017 03 21 222053 17439606 10155009162731153 2045079710 n

    Ta-Da!

    My friend loved this and it made her plain walls in her flat a little more personalised and homely.
