| I started with two 70 x 90 cm canvases |
 |
| Covered them in fabric |
 |
| I cut fabric larger than my canvases |
 |
| Sprayed some adhesive on the canvas |
 |
| Put the canvas down on the wrong side of fabric |
 |
| Pulled each side of fabric in and stapled |
 |
| Then I pulled the corners in and stapled. |
 |
| Voila! |
 |
| I cut out my letters of a song (What A Wonderful World), onto a clearance roll of mac-tack that I found at the department store with a Cricut cutter. |
 |
| I used a sewing pencil and evenly spaced my boards so that I would have a line to follow while placing my letters. I played with them a bit to find the best look. |
 |
| I used Kilz primer and coated both boards. I then used some cream colored craft paint and put two more coats on |
 |
| This is primed. Add two more coats of paint for good coverage. I forgot to take a picture when I had completed my paint coats. |
 |
| I mixed up some linseed oil, naphtha, and acrylic paint.in raw umber. |
 |
| Rub the mixture all over the canvases. |
 |
| I felt that this added an aged look to the canvas. |
 |
| Now the fun part. Start peeling off all the letters. |
 |
| This is it. Now to put them in their final home. |
Cheers!
