Kids Room Decor


Canvas Decor For Kids Room


Materials needed to make this are : Canvas board of any size you prefer I have used 16x20
Wooden letters, acylic paint any color you want, painters tape, glue and brush that's it.

        Arrange the letters on the board and check if it fits or change the alignment accordingly .

Next step is to sand the wooden letters, coz if you could see in the above picture the edges are
rough, smooth it up using the sand paper, I have used the fine grit sponge, but if you use fine grit paper that works best to get into the tiny gaps. Rub the sponge/paper along the grain of the wood, if you are not sure about the direction of the grain, just rub your fingers on the wood and feel, if its smooth that's the right direction, if it is rough then its wrong direction, if you sand in the wrong direction it will worsen it, and you can't skip this step, if you do your final outlook won't be good, * Else you can buy the flat wooden cut letters ,its very thin and smooth finished so you don't have to sand. Since I wanted a bold look I have used these letters.

                               I have painted the letters and some wooden cut outs.

                               
I have used a 16x20 board so I have made boxes of size 4x5 inches using pencil and ruler, and then stick the painters tape on the line such that the line lies along the midline of the tape.( Trust me use a good tape so that you will get the fine edges, I have used some cheap $3 tape and i totally regret using using that, coz I had a hard time making the tape to stick on the board and results were not that good if you could see in the picture below, so please use a good brand.

                              

I glued the letters  and the wooden cut outs to it I have used the hot glue gun, that works better for this compared to the regular one.
