easy art project

ill be honest. i was never good in art class. im in no way an artist. but thanks to the internet, especially pinterest, im able to pretend for a bit and create some easy (and cheap) art work for the guest room.

heres a picture of the project from pinterest:

so i started out with a blank canvas. well actually 3. they were all 50% off at michaels. wahoo! then its time for taping. any way you want. remember i said its easy?

and then we paint. any color you want. i used some leftover turquoise paint from our tv stand project. so no money spent there. i did 3 coats. and then you take the tape off. again, easy.

and after taking the tape off, the edges werent perfect. which i knew would happen. apparently that green frog tape is a lot better. but i already had the blue tape, so instead of spending money i just spent a bit of extra time cleaning up the lines with some white paint. and thats it. the only time consuming part is waiting for the paint to dry. and then you make ask the hubs to hang em up.

total spent: 5 cents for a small foam brush (also on sale) and $13 for the canvas.
