A Quick and Easy DIY canvas and a throw back to the 1960’s.

Song Trivia:

The song “What the World needs Now is Love” was first recorded in 1965…

and was written by Hal Davis with the music composed by Burt Bacharach.

To make a canvas you’ll need…

• 8″ x 10″ white canvas
• Iron Embroidered Letters from Joy SA
• Blue Acrylic Paint
• Paintbrush
• Water
• Craft Adhesive
• Clean Soft Rag or White Paper Towel

Directions:

• Using watered down acrylic paint I created a light watercolor wash on the canvas.
• To create the cloudy look, I dabbed the painting, while the background was still wet, with a clean towel to remove portions of the paint.
• After the canvas has fully dried, arrange letters on canvas.
• Draw light pencil marks on the canvas to keep your lines straight.
• Adhere to canvas with adhesive.

This canvas was created for and sponsored by Joy SA.
