These are just a couple of very quick little projects I did with the intention of using them as part of a wedding "gallery wall" I'm planning on creating when we finally get into our new house. Our wedding day was amazing, and we have some really wonderful, personal photos that were taken by our friends that I think need to be displayed in a special way. So, to create something a bit different than your usual "posed wedding photo in a frame on the mantelpiece" I have been gathering together some small craft projects to complement the professional photos we have had done in acrylic and on canvas, and the candid shots I plan on putting in funky frames. I don't want the wall to be all photos, so to break it up a bit I came up with these little canvases....
This is a quote from sonnet 116, which we had as a reading at our wedding.
And this is pretty self explanatory :)
I buy canvases from the euro store for €1.50/€2.00 each. I found these stickers in guineys for €1.50 per pack, 2 packs didn't quite do both canvases, so as you can see in the photo above, I had some gaps. I just painted the top half, removed the letters I needed and re-used them on the bottom half.
So after I laid out the letters I painted over them with a sample pot of colortrend paint I had. Most of the pics and art I'm going to use for the wall are black/white/grey. Once I had painted over the whole canvas I got a tweezers and peeled off the stickers (which I will save, cos I'm that cheap!)
The "happily ever after" is just stickers on canvas, simple! And if I ever want to change it I can just peel off the stickers and do something else.
And this is how they turned out, I'm quite happy with them :)
A quick and easy little project but I think they'll look great up on the wall amongst our photos.
