Hi everybody! This is Megan from Homemade Ginger and I’m so excited to be a giver for Mod Podge Rocks. I have a great time and energetic smaller than usual canvas craftsmanship venture to impart to all of you today. It utilizes plastic creatures, which is entirely fun.

This DIY canvas workmanship venture is ideal for a nursery or child’s room and would likewise be an extraordinary blessing thought! Every one of the materials to make these canvases with small scale creatures were extremely economical and I totally love the way they turned out.

Smaller than expected Canvas Art

In case you’re thinking about what we mean by “small scale” canvases, the ones utilized in this undertaking were 5″ x 5″. You could most likely go somewhat littler on the off chance that you needed to (either 4″ square or 3″ square) yet I wouldn’t suggest going a lot bigger except if you are going to place numerous plastic creatures on one canvas.

Cutting Plastic Animals

I utilized a warmth blade for this venture, which cuts a great deal of stuff effectively, including make froth. I love mine and use it constantly!

In the event that you don’t have a warmth blade (and many individuals don’t), at that point you will need to depend on a little arm solidarity to cut the plastic creatures.

I prescribe utilizing an utility blade or hacksaw to slice through the creatures! A large portion of them (counting the ones I utilized) are empty in the center, so it’s not as hard as it looks.However, it takes a moment.

Start by slicing your creatures down the middle. I discovered mine at Dollar Tree. I was glad to discover ones that were a somewhat bigger size than the run of the mill little ones. To slice them down the middle, I utilized a warmth blade. As I referenced above, you can likewise utilize an utility blade or hacksaw.

This is likely discretionary, however I chose to paint a layer of white introduction on my creatures. I figured it would spare me from a couple of layers of the acrylic paint not far off, and it did. It additionally makes the neon hues appear somewhat more brilliant!

When the groundwork is dry, paint your creatures and canvases with acrylic paint. My creatures all required around three coats and the canvases required around two coats. To cause it to speed up, I utilized a hair dryer in the middle of coats to trim down on drying time!

This is the place you can get fun and inventive with your smaller than usual canvas craftsmanship: use kid hues, light pastels for young ladies, or neons. Anything goes.

painted the edges of the canvases in inverse (yet planning) hues to make it significantly all the more fascinating and fun!

When everything is dry, utilize a little dot of super paste (or something different that gives a tight cling) to join your plastic creatures to the focal point of the canvases. I chose to give everything a layer of polished Mod Podge with the goal that the little creatures and canvases both had the equivalent sparkling completion.

You can avoid this progression, however it will seal the paint on the canvases, so I suggest it. On the off chance that you don’t need the sparkle look, don’t hesitate to go for matte or glossy silk.

Hang and appreciate! You can hang these with customary picture snares, on the off chance that you have the canvases that remember the sawtooth holders for the back (you can likewise place them on).

My own decision for hanging is Command Picture Strips. Nothing shows, and afterward I can undoubtedly expel them from the divider sometime in the not too distant future on the off chance that I need to change out the craftsmanship.

I love the way these creature canvases look in my girl’s nursery. I’m thinking about utilizing the back parts of the bargains to include considerably more canvases.

I’m additionally happy that I painted the edges of my smaller than normal canvas craftsmanship in various hues. It just includes a touch of a bonus and looks awesome face to face.
