My Weekend Project
Being on a budget it can be hard to remodel your house!
So first I started working on the half bath. I'm ALMOST done. Just working on the last finishing touch up paint and decorations. Decor can be expensive! I found a great idea at the craft store but the "paint molding clay" they used was more than the canvas'! So I improvised!
Here is what I did this weekend to fill an empty wall and only spent about $20 total!
Supplies Needed
3 - 12"x12" blank painting canvas'
Newspaper
Rubber Gloves
Small putty knife
1. Using the small putty knife apply Spackling Paste over entire canvas about 1/4" thick. It is ok if you can see lines in the spackle. It adds to the effect.
2. Make sure your gloves are on and press (vien side down) your leaves, ferns, flowers etc. on the Spackling Paste.
4. Immediatly remove your leaves rocks, flowers, etc. Again you can leave the spakle underneath white or lightly spray over it which is what I did.
5. Repeat with the other two canvas'.
