Love Wall Art Canvas
Use your Cricut machine and this cool painting technique to create a unique piece of art that adds that perfect rustic touch to your farmhouse-style decor.
What You Will Need
- 12x12 wood wall panel
- Testors Craft Paint in matte White and Stop Sign
- Cricut machine
- Cricut vinyl 12 x 12 piece in any color
- Transfer tape
- Weeding tools
- Paintbrush
- Love wreath art
Instructions
- Pour a bit of white paint onto the panel.
- Use a paintbrush to cover the entire panel with the white paint.
- While the white paint is still wet, pour on a bit of red paint and spread it around with the paintbrush. The two will mix and create a beautiful varied pink color.Remember to paint the sides of your panel!
- Allow the paint to dry completely. In the meantime, download the cut file. Upload it to Design Space and cut it from a 12 x 12 piece of vinyl (any color is fine).
- Once cut, weed any excess vinyl and use transfer tape to apply to your wood panel.
- Use JUST A LITTLE red paint on your brush and go around the vinyl. This will help to seal the edges so white paint doesn't seep under and give you cleaner paint lines.
- While the paint is still wet, go over the top with LIGHT coats of white paint. I did three thin coats of white paint, one right after another to create that rustic appearance.Remember to paint the sides of your panel!
- While the paint is still wet, lift up your vinyl and remove it from your love wall art.
- Allow your project to dry completely, then put it anywhere in your home.
