Latest Craft Project

Our downstairs is really bland. It has hardly any decorations. I went to porter's for some things and saw this really cute canvas project. But the only problem was that it was $25!! It was outrageous. Luckily, Porter's has their canvas on sale for 50% off like, everyday. I went and looked at it and got me 3. This is what I came up with. It is similar to what was at Porter's, but I like mine better. And it was much cheaper. I think the grand total was $8. Where as if I bought them from Porter's already made it would have been like $75!! I'd say that was a good deal. And it didn't take that much time! I love them! If any of you feel the need to make it, it was simple. I just got the canvas the size I wanted. Then I cut out a design out of the cricut for a stencil. Then I traced it where I wanted it on the canvas with pencil. SO i had the outline on the thing. Then I just chose colors and painted away. I love them!!

Good job! I like that A LOT and that fact that it was super cheap is even better. Thanks for sharing.
