Hot Mess Canvas Part 2

I know everyone has been on the edge of their seats for the conclusion of the Hot Mess Canvas crafting project. We left off waiting patiently for the mod podge layer to dry over our vinyl image. A quick tip is to blow dry between layers, this not only speeds up the process but helps the vinyl stick better. The next step...

There are two ways you can do the next step in this project. The first way is to brush paint over the entire canvas, doing this will result in multiple layers to really cover it. The second way is to get some spray paint and spray away. Few things to remember... spray paint outside in a well ventilated area, you make think that your indoor craft room will work for this step but I assure you it will not. Please go outside, as I nearly passed out from trying this step indoors and caused a rather, heated argument with my spouse.

 

If you go the paint route you can blow dry after each coat of paint and then start peeling the vinyl rather quickly but if you spray paint you should let it dry overnight. Once it is dry you can peel off the vinyl and it reveals the underlining paint. You can choose any color for the background. For this project I chose black. 

The below is the first one I did using the brush paint method. 

For this one I chose white paint but as you can sort of tell, even after 5 coats you can still see through it a bit. Luckily, this is called a hot mess canvas for a reason and you really can have fun with it and save your perfectionism stresses for another project. Thanks for reading and happy crafting!
