Cool! I want to make some canvases for my boys room in the new year using Echo Parks Little Boy papers.
these look great, what a great gift
these are great. I’ve been looking for something like this for the kids rooms. instead of buying im going to do this myself!
I’m making some pink one’s for my friend this weekend, they are very cute! Would love to see some pics of yours when they are finished!
They look great, Kat. Where do you buy your letters?
Would love to do this for my sons room but want to find some funky letters like those!
What glue did you use to stick the letters to the canvas? does the letters come off over time?
Hi Andrea, I did this so long ago that I can’t remember the exact brand but I used a good quality craft glue.
