Oh hey! I’m so excited with the way my next project turned out. It makes a great wedding or anniversary gift or even a gift just because!
My sister and brother-in-law celebrated their 2 year anniversary yesterday.
This was her on her wedding day…
Happy day 🙂
ANYHOOOOO…
My brother-in-law asked for a little help on her gift this year. I ran across a canvas sold in an online store and decided it needed to be copied. It only took me about an hour or so to make and I LOVE the result. Now I need to make me one!
Here are the supplies…
I got everything at Hobby Lobby! This is rare for one of my projects 🙂
1 Canvas (I think mine was 18×28) $10 because I got it half off
Chipboard letter pack – $5
Ampersand – $1.99 (the chipboard pack has one too!)
2 Monogram letters – These are in the unfinished wood section at HobLob for $1.99 a piece
Everything I bought was half off which is why the prices were so good!
My first step was to mark my lines to keep everything straight.
Then I used my hot glue gun to attach my big letters and ampersand.
Finally, I lined up my sayings and used the hot glue gun to attach. It doesn’t matter which color you use which means you can make LOTS of things with that great chipboard pack!
Ready for paint!
Make sure you get all the hot glue strings off before your spray paint (learned this the hard way)
I used our fav on my canvas…
I gave it two coats and let it dry! How easy is that??
Now of course I had to stage it in my house to get pics for you guys 🙂 What do you think???’
Hope you like it!
My sis does 🙂 She called me last night and told me so! It was inexpensive and quick but looks just the opposite! That’s my kind of shanty!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Did you paint the words? They don’t look like there is any color on them? One of the pictures look like there is yellow and black. Thank you for the tutorial!!
Where did you find the ampersand? I know there’s one that comes with the chipboard pack, but I was looking for the same metal one? Also, do you remember the height of the chipboard letters?
I was in need of an inexpensive and unique yet elegant gift for my inlaws 40th weeding anniversary. And this fits the bill perfect. Thanks so much I can not even wait to make this!!!
That’s great!! So glad I could help!! 😉
wow! I’m inspired 🙂 Thanks
Another great project…so nice and elegant….
I made this for my brother and sister in law for christmas this year with a slight twist – i covered the monograms with patterned ivory and black paper just to make them stand out a touch more. she loved it!
FYI: The wooden letters come with stickers on them. Be sure to use Goo Gone to remove the stickiness before spray painting. Learned this the hard way!!
