I love me some Pinterest, and I pin a lot. I just don’t end up doing most of the things that I pin. One thing I did end up doing was some art work. I’ve learned in the past that when I take a brush to canvas, things don’t end well. Thank God for vinyl letter stickers and spray paint!

I took a square canvas I had purchased for cheap at Big Lots and spray painted the entire thing green. Then I used masking tape to give me diagonal lines. Then I sprayed the entire thing again in this lovely persimmon color.

I spelled out what I wanted to say with my vinyl letters and then sprayed the entire thing, again, in purple this time.

Once the paint I had dried I carefully removed the vinyl stickers and voila!
I liked it so much I did one for my sister too.

I bought my vinyl letter stickers at Michael’s. I love them, but I wish they offered more fonts. Or some in all lowercase. I don’t know if that exists or if I just can’t find it here. And if you’re careful enough, you can use the stickers more than once.
Have you done any fun or new crafts lately?
