What you Need:
- Canvas Board (any size)
- acrylic paint
- paint brushes
- push pins
- easel/newspapers
- cup of water
- paper plate
- any other crafts you would want to put on the board (optional)
- nails
- hammer
What to Do:
- Take your easel or newspaper and get your station set up. Get your cup of water and a plate for you to put the paint that you want on. You don't want to have to be scrambling trying to find what you need while you have wet paint.
- Paint the canvas whatever color(s) you have chosen. Let that dry and paint any additional coats as desired. Make sure the paint is dried completely before hanging.
- Clean your paint brushes thoroughly.
- Take your hammer and nails and measure your painted canvas board to where you would like to hang it. Hammer a nail into the wall (or whatever desired way of hanging the board).
- Use your push pins and start hanging up whatever you please and enjoy your DIY Custom Bulletin Board!
Sweet! I never thought to use a canvas for a bulletin board but now I know what to do with canvas I just painted using the masking tape technique. I painted it simply because I wanted to try the technique. Now I have another use for it! :)
