love canvas

I wanted to create a modern canvas using fonts. The cool thing is the letters I used probably would be overlooked for not being modern! They’re refrigerator magnets that I got from the toy section at CVS. Here’s how you make this super simple canvas!!

I Love Fonts Canvas

Materials
– 12×12 canvas (I got mine at Michaels)
– Alphabet magnets
– Shiny black and white spray paint
– Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue®

First I laid all the magnets out on the canvas to make sure they fit and scattered properly!

I next spray painted the canvas. It took a couple coats.

Then I gave the letters a few coats. Admittedly, I had to go back in with a brush cause the plastic letters didn’t take to the shiny spray paint as well as I had hoped.

I then used the Tacky Glue to attach the magnets to the canvas. Isn’t this photo cool? The TV was flashing on the canvas :)

And there you have it! A super modern canvas on the cheap!

Here’s a fun detail! Now I have to find a place to hang it!

    I like this concept very much! I think it also might be cool to use spray paint or fabric spray paint to spray over the letters and then remove the letters, allowing the canvas color or pre-primed color to show.

    So you are suspicious. Maybe your spouse is cheating. Maybe one of your employees has been acting suspicious lately and you are worried that he or she is up to something that would cast a bad light on your company. Maybe a member of your family is in danger and you need to locate them fast.
