Hand Painted Lyrics On Canvas DIY


As you may know if you have if you have been following my work, a lot of my paintings are inspired by music... 

Like this one...

or this one...

and this one...

I was jamming out to some Robyn the other day, she is a goddess, and I was inspired to make this cute piece. Super easy and super pretty. If you want to make one...here's how...


Supplies:
Canvas, mine is 8x10, black, blue, white, and gold paint. Scissors, needle, white embroidery floss.

Directions:


So first take your blue paint and add a little black to make a rich blue color. Then cover your entire canvas and let it dry...


Next it's time to play connect the dots. The lyrics I chose are "You and me together, Stars 4 eva" from her song, "Stars for Eva." I used my gold paint to make little stars at the points of the letters and then used the white paint to connect and complete the letters. I guess I wanted the font to resemble constellations. I added a few stars in the background and let it dry.


 Next I wanted to add some texture to this piece. I used white embroidery floss and stitched over the white paint on the letters. I didn't do all of the letters and some only have a little stitching accent. I really just wanted to give it some interesting texture. I then touched up the gold and added some diamonds to the background.


Super easy to make and now I have a fun little accent for my room. I hope you enjoy this project. It would also make a cute gift for someone special <3
