DIY Chevron Canvas


                       image


You will need:


8"x10" canvas (from the dollar store)

pencil

ruler

tape

acrylic paint + paint brushes

image

  • Mark up the canvas with a ruler depending on how thick/long you want the stripes to be (the most tedious step)

image

  • Fill up every other stripe by taping them with masking tape

image

  • Flip it over and put some books on top to keep the tape in place so the paint doesn’t leak through 

image

  • I wanted a red/white/grey pattern so i painted the top/bottom with red, the middle with grey, and the taped parts would be white. I painted 2-3 coats every 4-5 hours and let it dry overnight before removing the tape

image

  • Clearly i didn’t tape the top stripe down properly it needed some touching up with white paint

  • All done!
