Hi…Happy Thursday!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tina Walker here today with a unique and whimsy way to use Amazing Alterables.
\nI recently pinned this <\/a>idea<\/a> and I thought it would fun to expand on the cut canvas idea, with an Amazing Alterable twist.<\/p>\n
\"IMG_3057a\"<\/a><\/div>\n

To start, I painted my raw canvas with several colors of Spray Mist.\u00a0 I love to let them mix and mingle and pool to create a one of a kind look.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3058\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I placed my Amazing Alterable piece on the canvas and drew a rough outline as a guide to cut the canvas.<\/p>\n

I cut the shape with an Xacto knife and finished the edge with blanket stitch.\u00a0 (I used red wax linen thread for added strength)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>I gave my Amazing Alterable piece a quick spray of gesso spray, not minding if a the coverage was incomplete.\u00a0 Once the Amazing Alterable was dry, I drilled holes around the edge of the entire piece.\u00a0 This is where I would attach the Alterable to the canvas.<\/p>\n

Using black wax thread, I attached the Amazing Alterable piece to the canvas, securing and stretching as needed.<\/p>\n

Special note:\u00a0 Be gentle with the pressure when stitching.\u00a0 As you can see, I broke the arm and foot, but embraced the ‘mistake’.\u00a0 Overall, it really enhanced the idea I had.\u00a0 So no mistake was actually made.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n

To finish my canvas, I added a hand-stamped metal sentiment and secured it to the canvas with upholstery nails. (brads would work as well)<\/p>\n
