Hi guys! I’m really sorry I couldn’t post yesterday. I was busy the whole day working on yesterday’s post so I didn’t have enough time to get it done. So here it is today! I’m going to show you 3 spring DIYs for your room. Here they are!
Doily Canvas Art
What you will need:
- 5 or 6 doilies of various sizes and shapes (around $2 each at Joanns)
- A medium sized canvas
- Matte spray paint (color of your choice)
Step 1:
Lay your canvas down on a flat surface (I would suggest doing this outside because of the spray paint)
Step 2: Lay the doilies out in the way you would like, and make sure they are laying flat on the canvas.
Step 3: Spray your paint over the canvas and doilies. Make sure the paint is opaque.
Step 4: Let the paint dry a bit. This will take about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Carefully take off the doilies. This should leave a cool pattern from the doilies. Then lay your canvas somewhere safe to dry overnight.
The finished product:
I love how this project doesn’t have all clean lines. This gives it a cool, sort of watercolor effect. This project has a edgy and girly look to it that is really unique looking. This looks super cute on my walls in my room, and I hope you will try it out too.
Floral Monogram Wall Letter
What you will need:
- A cardboard or wooden letter (I used a marquee letter kit from Michaels, for $12)
- A metallic/pearlescent paint (optional)
- Painting sponge
- A paper plate or coffee filter to put your paint in
- Paper
- Colored pencils
- Hot glue/super glue
- Artificial flowers
Step 1: Take your paint and squeeze it out onto your coffe filter or plate.
Step 2: Paint your letter with the painting sponge. Make sure to paint the inside of it so none of the letter shows through the flowers.
Step 3: While the paint dries, take your paper and colored pencils and draw the letter, and plan out where you want the flowers to go. Draw them on the paper.
Step 4: After the paint has dried, put your flowers in the letter one by one and glue them in according to your draw out plan.
Step 5: Let your letter dry overnight.
Finished product:
Magazine Cutout Diamond
What you will need:
- Various magazines
- Thick sketching paper
- A medium sized canvas
- Spray glue
- Scissors
Step 1: Take your sketch paper and cut the corner off at the size you would like to create a stencil.
Step 2: Take your stencil and cut along it on various patterns you like out do your magazines. You will need 14 triangles.
Step 3: Lay your triangles out in a diamond shape. (Reference the picture below if you can’t figure how to do it)
Step 4: Make sure your triangles are equally close together, and glue them down one by one.
Step 5: Stand a few feet away from the canvas and spray glue over top of it so the magazine doesn’t peel.
Step 6: Let it dry overnight.
Finished product:
Those were all of my DIYs! I hope you guys try them out, and see you next time!
