Please Welcome: Tiffany from My Creative Outlet

Hello to all you fabulous Eighteen25 readers!!
My name is Tiffany and I have a little blog called My Creative Outlet where I post some of my fun projects that I dream up.
I am just giddy to be here to share my Halloween project with you.
My inspiration came while wondering the aisles at Hobby Lobby. I came across this great frame on canvas that I knew I needed to have. But the more I looked at it the more I decided that I could make it myself and make it to fit into my Halloween decor style.

 

This is what my finished project looks like and I LOVE it!!!
Unfortunately I didn’t photograph step by step instructions for you but I think we can handle this with out it.

 

This is what you’ll need:

* blank canvas  (I got mine at Michaels using my 40% off coupon)
* Ivory Krylon spray paint
* black acrylic paint
* foam brush
* Frog tape (which I would recommend over plain blue painters tape)
* chevron pattern
* 4×6 black frame
* Halloween printable
* E600 glue

First I spray painted my canvas ivory and let that dry. While that was drying I printed out my chevron pattern that I found on the Sunset website which you can find HERE.  After I had cut that out I placed it on my canvas and used Frog tape to cover the exposed canvas. Once I had my first one done I would move my pattern and repeat.

After it’s all taped off I applied 3 coats of the black acrylic paint (letting it dry between each coat).

My favorite part is taking off the tape to see those fun stripes.

I created a Halloween printable in Photoshop and had it printed at Walmart’s one hour photo which is cheaper than paying for a color copy. I also found my 4×6 black frame at Walmart for $3 but you could also use a frame from the Dollar Tree. I removed the glass and any backing from the frame.

After I had placed my printable in the frame I used some E600 glue to adhere the frame to the canvas. I let that dry over night before standing it upright. Of course you can paint this to match your own Halloween decor, I think it would look amazing in silver or orange as well.

 

I am excited to see it among my other fun Halloween decorations this year!

 

I also love glittery black skulls. This is a project I did using one that you can find on my blog.

 

 

A BIG Thank You to the girls here at Eighteen25 for having me!

  1. Love this project!!! Can you link to the exact printable.. I like the one that you have in your frame with the cute spider that is on top of the word pumpkins. It also looks more orange with pinkerish polkas. That would be so great!! Thank you!
