I put together this decorative canvas to hide a rusted fan cover that's mounted onto the brick wall beside my deck today.
My mother was visiting and told me about a botanical garden she toured and that these words were on a plaque, and I thought they were lovely.
Disclaimer: I should have written Buddah instead of God since I'm more of a Buddhist, but I was on auto pilot today and my Catholic upbringing is ingrained in my soul.
Here it is hung over the fan cover with the recent addition of a butterfly made out of feathers.
I'm placing a very simple tutorial behind the cut.
I used plastic corrugated board because this is going to get rained on. I used my dad's rusty metal thingum to make sure everything was square, and cut it with a box cutter. |
I sprayed the board with adhesive. |
I placed my ironed cotton fabric over the board and smoothed it down. |
Then cut our the corners as shown. |
Then I sprayed more adhesive and folded the edges over and smoothed them out. |
I stuck down the letters for my message and traced them out with a fine point gel pen. |
The text was then filled in with a Sharpie because I don't have a steady enough hand to paint. I did a test to see if the ink would run when it gets wet - it didn't run, fyi. |
Love it:) So beautiful
