Valentine Altered Art

Who doesn't love a deal? Nobody that I know! Including me. So when I found 2 canvas prints on sale for 80% off, I had to have them. I decided to have a little fun and change them up for Valentine's Day.

The first one started off like this...

I used a paper heart shaped doily as a stencil to add a heart...

Then I painted a banner across the canvas...

I added a little of the colors from the banner to the heart & painted the word, LOVE...

For the second canvas, I kept it a little more simple.

I just focused on adding a little color to the basket by filling it with flowers.

Don't be scared to alter art. Especially if you spend less than $4 on each piece!

2”-2 ½” Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter

Rubber Stamps

12” Skewers Cut In Half

2” Clay Pots

Roll out clay to 1/4 inch thickness. Press a rubber stamp into the clay to add a design...

Cut out a heart with a heart shaped cookie cutter...

Insert the skewer...

Let the clay dry completely.

Paint the flower pots.

When the paint is dry, add glaze with a damp rag to age the pots...

When the hearts are dry, add glaze. Paint it on with a paintbrush, making sure it gets into all the grooves of the design. Wipe away excess with a damp rag.
