Halloween Canvas

As you can tell, I'm on a Halloween decor rampage. 

The last two years I barely decorated and 

this year I said enough is enough and here I am 

putting my all into decorating for EVERY holiday event.

I've been looking for a long time for the perfect Halloween canvas.

But few pieces appealed to me, but they were ridiculously 

expensive for what they were. 

THEN I got an idea of getting a canvas and painting on it.

But what? 

My mind went 100mph thinking of ideas

until I finally landed on something I Pinterest-ed,

Halloween Canvas, and the famous, 

"Keep Calm and..." appeared.

PERFECT

All I did was tweak it up a bit and

off to Walmart I went and got my supplies:

I forgot to include:

- plastic cup

- pencil 

- stenciled letters

Grab the paint you wish to cover your canvas with...

Apply your second coat...

Doesn't the color look a lot better? 

Once you've waited an hour you can apply

another coat if you want

OR

start with your lettering.

You can either free hand it or 

use a stencil like I did...

To secure things, used tape.

I was a rebel and didn't..

Here's a cheat I did...

And now the paint...

Once you're done painting, let it dry. 

Once dried you can seal the canvas with the acrylic

sealer OR just let it be and you're done!
