How to Make
- Turn the canvas upside down so that the staples are facing upwards. Use a sharp cutting knife to carefully cut around the edge of the canvas, just to the outside of where the staples are. Lift the canvas off and put it to one side, then rip/cut the remaining pieces of canvas off of the frame. Alternatively, you can use a staple remover, however this will take slightly longer to do.
- Paint the whole of the frame with black paint, adding more coats if needed. Leave to dry.
- Take the canvas from step 1 and use scissors to cut off the folded edges. Trim the canvas so that it is slightly smaller than the size of the outer frame.
- Place the piece of canvas over the back of the frame and use the staple gun to attach it.
- Turn the canvas over so it is the right way up and use the black deco pen to write ‘Live Laugh Love’ onto it, one word under the other. Add a swirly line with a heart either side of each word to the edge of the frame.
Top Tip
Write the middle word (laugh) first to help keep the layout even.
