Add some modern contemporary flair to your Valentine’s decor with this easy-to-do Faux Watercolor Canvas Decor. This faux watercolor technique is so convincing you will never guess how easy it is to achieve. So raid your kids’ craft stash and let’s get to creating a piece of art that is worthy of your Valentine’s Day display.
Scribble onto the thick plastic bag with markers. Create a vertical ombre of colors or splotches of colors here and there to create different effects.
Use a paintbrush to apply a generous amount of water to the top of the DIY 8” x 8” canvas.
While the canvas is still wet, place the plastic bag marker side down onto the top of the canvas. Use your fingers to spread the color around. The more you mash, the more the colors will blend together. Once you have mashed and blended to your heart's content, let the canvas dry. You can speed up this process by using a blowdryer to help with drying time.
Lightly hand letter a sweet sentiment onto the dried canvas with a pencil. Fill in the saying with a Metallic Sharpie® Marker. This will make sure that the canvas does not show through the dried glitter.
Apply Metallic Stickles® Glitter Glue directly on top of the saying and allow to dry.
Hang this lovely piece of art on a gallery wall or style it amongst your Valentine’s Day décor to add a bit of contemporary flair.
