Reuse A Canvas: Diy Sticker Wall Word Art

Reuse a canvas and make your own word art

While camping in the Adirondacks last summer, I saw the same adorable, modern word art throughout the souveiner shops proclaiming: The mountains are calling and I must go. I love everything about the Adirondack Mountains, so these signs immediately caught my eye. I was a fan of the simplicity, the “woodsy” aesthetic and, of course, the quote itself. My supplies are either from Walmart or generous family members!

While camping in the Adirondacks last summer, I saw the same adorable, modern word art throughout the souveiner shops proclaiming: The mountains are calling and I must go.

Instructions

  1. Small 114022 2f2016 04 23 204007 img 0959 e1436870395704

    Draw a line down the middle of the canvas to help you line up your letters. You won’t see this later as you’ll be painting over it.

    Arrange your letters! Luckily, I was able to move the stickers if necessary after placing them. So don’t worry too much about being perfect on the first try. I ran out of the letter N so I cut a W :) Ingenuity at it’s finest.

    Add one coat of paint; let dry. Add another coat of paint.

  4. Small 114022 2f2016 04 23 204251 img 0970

    Let second coat dry for about 20 minutes. Then, carefully peel away your letters. If you need to clean up any mistakes (though I like that mine isn’t perfect), try a little isopropyl alcohol.
