Twenty Twenty is “clearly” going to be a year of stupid puns and silly memes.

We might as well get used to it.

So, if you can’t beat them, you might as well join them.

Joy Iron-on Embroidered Letters are great for making creative and funny t-shirts,

they’re also great for making creative and funny signs.

Here’s what I used to make my 2020 Canvas:

• Small Eye Glasses

Directions:

• Paint the entire canvas with a generous amount of white acrylic paint.  While the white paint is still wet, softly blend the navy blue paint.

• Once the canvas has dried.  Position the Jacobean Floral Stencil* onto the corner of the canvas and tape down the edges with removable painter’s tape to keep the stencil from moving.
• Use a  stipple brush to lightly apply white acrylic paint inside open stencil areas.

• The stenciling creates a nice subtle background.
• Stencil all four corners of the canvas.

• To keep the numbers and letters straight, use a piece of blue painters tape on the canvas.
• Glue letters and numbers onto the canvas using Fabri Tac Adhesive.

• To make it a little more “Punny”…I created glasses out of cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.  To make the glasses more sturdy, I made three of each size and stacked and glued them together.
•  Glue glasses and flower embellishments onto canvas.
