Oh. My. Goodness.
When I came across this tutorial on Pinterest, I instantly knew that I wanted to make some.
And so I did.
I just happened to have a left over piece of canvas {8x10}, and a bunch of popsicle sticks.
So I set to work, hot gluing down the sticks, and using some really good snips to trim the popsicle sticks to size.
I liked the au-natural look of the sticks, so I opted not to paint them. I did however paint the sides of the canvas.
I then went into Microsoft Publisher {I use it for everything}, and in my created document, I typed out my phrase I wanted on this particular canvas. I then mirrored it & saved it as a jpeg file. I then cut out a piece of freezer paper & taped it to a piece of computer paper {to make it easier to go through the printer}. I then printed out my saying onto the shiny side of the freezer paper.
I then flipped the freezer paper over onto the wood, and rubbed the ink into it. I then took a black marker & carefully traced each letter in just a little bit.
And wa-la! I have a fun art piece to display in my family room.
This was so easy to do, I think it took me hour at the most. I have plans to make more!
Thanks for stopping by!
