I am back with the Craft Room De-Stash Challenge to use up some of my craft supplies I have on hand and make an easy monogrammed canvas wall art for my entry way.
I have had this white canvas for months, trying to decide what to do with it. I was mostly afraid of messing it up and having to throw it in the trash. After scouring Pinterest and finding some ideas, I figured it was time to do something with this canvas!
Supplies:
Small/Medium Paint Brush
Vinyl for the monogram
Transfer Tape
Transfer Tape
Measure out how wide you want your stripes to be and make a light mark on the edge of the canvas using a pencil. I spaced mine as wide as the washi tape I was using.
Mark off the sections that you are NOT going to paint using your washi tape or painters tape. Run your fingernail over the edges of the tape to ensure a good seal, so paint does not bleed under the tape.

Paint the exposed areas using a small brush. I used Gloss Turquoise by Deco Art.
Let dry for a few hours, then remove the tape from the canvas. Use a tape measure to decide how large you want your monogram to be. I decided to make mine about 7" tall.
In the Cricut Design space, I searched on "Monograms" and filtered the results on Free and Cricut Access.
I chose a monogram design with a circle design around it. Drag the handles at the edge to resize the design to your desired size. Place your vinyl on the mat, load it into your Cricut machine, and set the dial to Vinyl.
Carefully weed the vinyl from the design, taking care not to rip any of the delicate pieces.
Cut a piece of transfer tape in the same size as your design place it over the monogram cut, smoothing out the wrinkles.
Place it on your canvas in the appropriate spot and press down on the vinyl to make it transfer to the canvas. I use my flat Cricut tool to smooth it out.
Peel back the transfer tape slowly, making sure the vinyl has adhered to your canvas.
Admire your beautiful new DIY monogrammed canvas wall art and hang for everyone to see! I hung mine in my front entry by my 3-D Flower shadow box art I also made with my Cricut.
Pin this for later!
