Canvas Wall Art

I just wanted to share a little (big)  project that I've been working on for my sister's baby shower! She's been searching for something to hang on the hospital door other than a wreath. She sent me a picture of canvas wall banner and I was inspired!

Now, Ive never been a really great painter but I knew I had to try for my little sister and my niece that is on the way. My sister has no idea that I've painted this for her and I think that she'll be very surprised when I give it to her.

The first thing you need is a roll of canvas and your painting supplies. My canvas came from Michael's. Cut to your desire length and tape off your border.



Tape your borders

After I tape off my edges, I painted the background a pink color and sketched out my baby face!



Face is drawn


I gave the little hair bow a few accent colors to make it stand out.


Upside down...but you can see it taking shape!


Then I went to work painting the features of the face.


Big pink cheeks!




Little red lips!


I finally gave her some eyes!


A little black curl and big eyes!


And a yellow and purple shirt!


I stared at it for a while hoping she didn't look like an Easter Egg!


Then added my niece's name (Which the daddy picked out!)


Kimora...


Painted the border black with white polka dots...and Ta-Da!!!


I still have to add the dowel to hang it...
