I took a simple canvas that I purchased from Michaels for around six dollars. Then I grabbed a marker from Wynn's desk and simply wrote the words "I Love You" over and over until the canvas was filled. And of course this was all done while holding my sweet non-sleeping child, Davis.
The other amazing part of this project is that it does not have to look perfect or be straight. That means there is no prep needed. You just need a free hand to write in some half way decent cursive.
My canvas is approximately 12 inches by 16 inches, and the canvas PBK offers is 35 inches square. However my $6 price tag is much easier to handle versus the $400 PBK price tag. I don't know if I've ever spent even remotely close to $400 on anything hanging up in my house. I think maybe I've spent that total for all the rooms in my house instead.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful week.
adorable! i love this so much. i love this so much. i love this so much. i love this so much. ;) making my own art here.
ReplyDeleteI love it! And I love the price tag! =)
ReplyDelete$400? wow! Love yours and your knock out price, Megan!
ReplyDelete$400?? Is it written in gold? That is beyond ridiculous! Yours is just as cute--in fact, cuter because of the price--not to mention the story behind its creation!
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever! Love your blog too! So many amazing inexpensive ideas to do! I will be back!
ReplyDelete$400 I'm in shock, who's buying stuff at that price?? Yours is beautiful, and more personal because its in your handwriting. Davis is obviously a crafting genius to help you with it and they say the creative tiles don't sleep much ;)
ReplyDeleteThat was types not tiles since its 4am and I'm up ith my own "creative genius"
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a personal and wonderful creation.
ReplyDeleteMegan - you had me laughing with the one arm LMHO !!!
ReplyDeleteI so remember those days - I suppose there's days when you have no arms available!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your artwork - I'm going to call you the one armed bandit from now on :)
XOXO
Love the simplicity of it but knowing me I would have some how still managed to mess this up! Great job and bonus points for doing it with one arm!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! Much more personal to do it yourself. And $400, well that's just crazy!
