I decided to do a little DIY this weekend. I made Chevron canvases this weekend and I'm actually super excited how they turned out!
Take 2 canvases and tape them off with Blue Painters Tape. I didn't measure anything and wasn't being a perfectionist, so I just eyaballed it:
I bought sample paints from Home Depot, $2.95 each and a cheap paint brush $1. I picked out grey and yellow, kinda obsessed with these colors right now!
As you can see I didn't even try to stay inside the lines.
I used 2 coats of paint on each and let them dry in my garage for about an hour.
I peeled off the tape and VOILA!!!
Here is the tutorial I used as inspiration, but clearly did not follow it exactly:

My First DIY that I've posted on this blog - what do you think?
Whenever I do a DIY involving paint it NEVER turns out this good! Love yours though!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think it's great that they're not "perfect" -- I like them so much more that way!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun simple way to create art. This is perfect because right now I have a lot of blank walls to fill in my house... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I found a blank canvas laying in the basement and was going to go buy a stencil and paint it but this is a perfect idea!
