Picture Frame Fabric Ribbon Canvas board Spray paint

$8.00 $1.40 $1.00 $5.00 $2.00

First, find a picture frame that fits the canvas board. Then, select the fabric that you prefer. There are a nice selection of swatches of fabric in various prints and colors at the store. Then select the ribbon that goes with the palette of colors in the fabric. Next find the color of spray paint that goes with the fabric and ribbon.

Go outside to spray paint the frame. First lay out newspaper on the ground that cover the size of the frame. Then place the frame on the newspaper. Shake the paint can well before using. Spray a little out on the newspaper to test the color. Then spray paint the frame and make sure the frame is fully coated with paint on all sides and the corners. Set aside to dry. In the meantime, you will cover the canvas with the fabric. Use the glue gun to secure the fabric and pull tightly across the corners. To smooth out the fabric, use something cylindrical like a rolling pin, a mini paint roller or even an aluminum water bottle. Next lay strips of ribbon diagonally across the canvas board to create a lattice pattern. Use the glue gun to stick the ribbon on the canvas. You can accessorize with buttons or push pins. Then go check on the frame. If it is dry, then affix the frame to the canvas board. You can decorate vision board with affirmations, quotes, photos, postcards, etc. Add things that inspire you and hang it somewhere in your place where you can see it daily.
