DIY Baby Nursery Canvas Art Under $10

I love making custom pieces for my customers and this nursery canvas is no exception. Check out below the picture for all the details and instruction.

Supplies: 

• 12x12 thin canvas (from Hobby Lobby)
• blue acrylic paint
• black vinyl
• blue vinyl
• small mini metal clips (like these from Staples)
• Cutting machine such as a Cricut

Instructions:

1. Paint the canvas your desired color. We used a light blue.
2. Type your quote into your Cricut or use software like Sure Cuts a Lot.
3. Cut your vinyl.  I chose to put the baby's name and a few letters (the L and H) from the quote in blue and the rest in black.
4. Adhere vinyl to canvas after paint has dried completely.  Leave about 6" in between quote and baby's name to put photo
5. Using a basic glue, adhere the mini clip to the canvas
6. Clip picture

This canvas art piece can be stood on a shelf or hung onto the wall using velcro or 3M tape.  I also love that the picture can be changed out as often as you'd like.  A great project for under $10!

DIY Zig-Zag Corkboard

Here is a quick and inexpensive corkboard you can make at home!  It is super easy to make and pretty much anyone can do it! I promise.

Here's how to make your own:

Step 1: Start with the right supplies: (4) corkboard squares (purchase here from Target), blue painters tape, paint brush, ruler, adhesive square to hang, and any type of craft paint  or spray paint.

Step 2. Layout your squares.  Using a pencil and ruler, draw 1" diagonal lines starting with the center ones first.  I made the middle line slightly larger.

Step 3: Place painters tape on the areas you want to remain corkboard. The exposed areas will be painted.

Step 4: Spray paint the corkboards and allow to dry.  Once dry, peel off the tape.

Step 5: Hand corkboard using adhesive squares.  I used small ones and they didn't hold very well. I would suggest a medium-grade adhesive for better results and a lasting look.
