Ever since I started Doctor Who I have had a mad crush on EVERYTHING UK! Maybe it started with Harry Potter and just exploded with Doctor Who/Sherlock/Downton Abbey! I saw this awesome Union Jack painting on the Being Geek Chic website and HAD to try it for myself, with a lil twist.
Supplies:
8x10 Canvas
Red/Blue acrylic paint
Sticker letters of your choosing
Paint Brush
I started out with affixing the letters where I wanted them and then sketched the Union Jack flag around them.
I took my time painting {two days}. Giving enough time between coats. Two coats of blue and red. I erased the visible pencil lines and carefully peeled off the letter stickers {makes sure the paint is completely dry first!}. I also painted the sides as well helped complete the look.
Luckily when I went to buy the canvas at Michael's they were 50%, even better than the 40% off coupon I had. The letters were 40% off on their own so I didn't even have to use my coupon! The total cost for this project for me was $8. I already had all the paint and brushes! This project takes a while to do, so pace yourself and just have fun!!
Love this!! Definitely adding it to the list of things to make.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I really want to try it. :-) What did you put the canvas on to make it more of a box than a 2D wall decoration? (I know that sounds like a dumb question, but I'm super unartistic). And how did you attach the canvas to it?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Ellie,
DeleteThe canvas I used was not a flat one, but about an inch thick, you can find them at any Michael's store :)
Thank you so much!! I can't wait to try this. :-)
