Alright guys, I know I have not posted in forever. Sorry but school and life in general has been consuming all of my time. But this is just short and super simple craft that I made for a friend for her graduation. It can be used with several different quotes and colors so the possibilities are endless.
What You Need
1. Canvas. This is actually a wooden board from walmart but either wood or canvas works fine.
2. Paint. Pick whatever colors and however many colors you want. And can be found for less than a dollar at any Walmart or craft store.
3. Q-tips. Used to make the polka dots
4. Sharpie or paint pen. Used to write the quote
5. Brushes. I prefer to use sponge brushes since they are a little less streaky than the normal paint brushes.
How to Make It
1. Paint your first coat of your base color on the canvas. Wait for it to dry COMPLETELY. Seriously, don't make the same mistakes I did, let it dry. And repeat until you are happy with the color and texture of your base color.
2. Take a Q-tip and dip the tip in paint and then lightly smudge the Q-tip onto the canvas. Ta da, instant polka dot. Again, before you carefully add another coat of polka dots, let it completely dry. Otherwise they will smudge, and all be different awkward sizes and such. So moral of the story, let the paint dry.
3. When you have polka dotted your canvas in whichever way pleases you, take a sharpie or paint pen and write the quote over it, and you'll probably want to go over it again to make the writing darker. Also feel free to write it with a pencil first and then go over with the sharpie.
