I just want to say that I am not an artist. There’s a limited amount of time you can play around with the drywall until it starts to cure, so keep that in mind when planning the time it will take for you to complete this step. I also took a step back and made sure that it looked good from afar too. This took me about 30 minutes to do and I used this video to guide my palette knife motions until I was happy with the canvas texture. Once the entire canvas is covered in a layer of drywall mud, use the knife to make whatever texture design you want.
#SEW ART CANVAS CRACK#
This will cause the canvas to crack while it dries, which mine did. DON’T make the same mistake that I did and spread too much on at one time. Using your drywall taping knife, start applying the drywall mud to the canvas in a thin layer and spread evenly to ensure the canvas (the original art) is completely covered. You don’t want to get paint or drywall mud on the frame or on your floor/table. Once you have all the materials, lay your canvas on a protective flat surface and tape the edges of the frame. Even a sample size or two of a color could work, because this really doesn’t require that much paint! With a coupon, I paid $4.78 for this paint from JoAnn. Because you’re using drywall mud, you can get away with chalk paint, acrylic or latex paint. Lightly paint the rope with acrylic crafts paint, then press it onto your canvas. Hot glue a length of thin cotton rope to a piece of scrap wood or cardboard in a swirled shape.

She had the idea to go to Home Goods/TJMaxx and buy a framed canvas and paint over that. ….Until I stumbled upon Miracle on Thirty Fourth’s IG stories a few weeks ago.
#SEW ART CANVAS HOW TO#
I knew I wanted to try out the drywall mud thing, but quite frankly, I was feeling lazy about figuring out how to frame a canvas. This textured canvas is beautiful, but goes for nearly $600Īfter doing some research, I stumbled upon Gesso art which is what some artists use to create the textured canvas look, and eventually found that using drywall mud/spackle could create a similar look. Place the canvas, also face down, on top of the fabric. Make sure you leave a few inches of fabric all around the canvas. I fell in love with textured abstract art after seeing it on Pinterest, but it never occurred to me until recently that I could achieve the same look without the hefty price tag of buying original textured art. Lay the printed fabric face down on the ground. It can take a while – years even – to find art that speaks to you. You could also do this with one huge canvas to make a statement piece or three medium-sized canvases hung right next to each other.Art is an odd thing. We went with nine small frames of various sizes so that we could create a collage. Head to the art supply store and get yourself some canvases.
