My mom is redecorating her bedroom, and was looking for a fun way to add a pop of color without spending a lot of money. This is what she came up with...
Supplies needed
Craft paint
Small paint brush or foam brush
Mod podge
Canvas
Rhinestones
Stamping ink
Stamp
Gem tack glue
Scissors
First, you will want to determine how large you want your finished piece to be, then buy a canvas that fits those measurements. Also buy the rest of your supplies if you don't already have them.
Pick a stamp and, with black ink, stamp on a clean white piece of paper. If you want it to be more faded and rustic, then you don't have make a clean stamp. Otherwise, this may take a few tries to get it right.
Take your stamped piece of paper and canvas down to Kinkos and have them enlarge it for you. Thankfully copies are cheap because this will take a few tries until you find the right size for your canvas. In this step, you decide how big you want the picture on your canvas, so just eyeball it.
Paint your canvas with at least two coats of craft paint. You can use a foam brush or a smaller paint brush. Let dry.
Cut around picture and place on canvas to get an idea for placement.
Apply Mod Podge to back of paper only, DO NOT put Mod Podge on top of picture, as it will make the ink bleed and ruin the picture.
Press all edges down firmly and let dry.
With Gem Tack glue, apply a small amount onto the back of the rhinestones and place on the picture where ever it needs some sparkle. Let dry.
With the clear coat spray paint, apply two light coats.
When dry, attach ribbon to the back with a staple gun.
Finished!
