I've been wanting to make a canvas picture for Emily's room for a long time, but I'm definitely NOT an artist when it comes to painting. I ran across a tutorial on Martha's website for making collages, and I figured I could tweak it for Emily's room. It just so happened that Emily's upcoming birthday party was going to be a pajama party theme, and I thought this little "night owl" canvas could do double duty as a part of the birthday decor.
This was such an easy project. I started by painting my canvas pink. It took a bunch of coats because I was painting over an old painting that was on there. Next, I gathered my scrapbook papers, and started cutting out my owl and tree shapes. I used a large scallop punch to make the leaves for the tree, and a small scallop punch for the owls' eyes. I hand drew their eyelashes (as if you couldn't tell! Ha!) and used some pink ink to distress the edges. Once I had laid everything out, I started gluing my paper onto the canvas using Mod Podge. I used my mom's Cricut to do the letters. The last thing I added were some cute yo-yos to dress up the owls' ears. Finally, I wrapped some cute ricrac around the edges. Voila - cute, cheap wall art!!!
This ended up being the perfect decoration for Emily's party! Party pictures coming very soon!
