MONOGRAM Canvas

It takes about 30-40 minutes to complete.
Materials Needed:
•4”x 4” blank canvas
•2 - 4″x 6″ pieces of decorative paper
•Modge Podge - Matte OR some other adhesive glue
•Foam Brush
•Scissors or Paper Cutter
•Embellishments [butterflies, letters, magazine clippings]
Step One: Gather all your supplies in one spot.

Step Two: Arrange the decorate papers in a design you like. Tear the long edge of the patterned paper towards you.


Step Three: Paint the canvas part you will cover with Modge Podge. Place the plainest paper on the canvas first then glue on the patterned paper after you tear the edge. Smooth out air bubbles and edges with your fingers carefully (this can get a bit messy). Be careful not to peel off the paper by rubbing the bubbles out too hard.



Step Four: Glue down any curled up edges and place Modge Podge on top the paper where you will place your letters and magazine clippings. Put ‘em on! (Wait to place any felt letters on!)


Step Five: Directly apply Modge Podge glue or adhesive to the back of the felt letter (if you have one) and place where you would like it. Press down and let dry. Place on any other embellishments & hang up! IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT – MAKE IT YOUR OWN!
