Mini Canvas

Filed Under: Photography, Tutorials Tagged With: lifenreflection, sponsored

Kristy from Life-n-Reflection, sent me this adorable Mini Canvas Set and I decided to actually make a few mini canvas. I bought a 4 pack of 6″ canvases at walmart for about $8. Then I bought Mod Podge because (gaspp….) I have never used Mod Podge in my life!! So I am definitely no expert but I will tell you what I learned.

Mini Canvas

blog (1)I printed out the canvas from Kristy on regular paper. I had Card Stock and I think it may have worked better because it took a lot to get all the air bubbles out. I originally put mod podge on the canvas, tried to just stick it on with and then immediately cover with mod podge but that cause a lot more bubbles. So the next time I stuck it on, let it dry for about 5-10 minutes then covered with mod podge. Then when that layer dried I put one more layer of mod podge. Mini Canvas

    Those canvases are so cute! I understand - my first time using Mod Podge I thought for sure I had ruined my project. It takes some getting used to but is so worth it.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
