Quote Art

This project was very simple and I loved the outcome of it. 

I first saw this project on Pinterest. Then I saw Steven do it and ever since I've wanted to try it myself.

I asked my Grandma to go to DI with me so I could pick out an old painting...she got an old bread box.

I took this old painting and cut it down to a 8x10 so I could frame it later. 

I already had a pack of letter stickers that I picked up from the Roberts Arts and Crafts sale. 

Being the perfectionist I am I was worried about the paint seeping through the letters..which happened anyway. However, I loved how it turned out, it gave a rustic worn out look to the words. 

With the painting I choose it had some texture so when I put the paint on it 

Here's what to do

Step one: Go find an old painting. Mine was $3.00 from Desert Industries. 

Step Two: Find a quote you like and place the sticker letters onto your painting. 

Step three: Choose a color of paint and cover the painting. (I used gouache paint, it's a thick tempera base paint [correct me on that if I'm wrong]...which is not the cheapest paint to use.)
Step four: Wait to dry and peel off the letters. 

Step Five: Admire your project. 

I'm excited to put mine in a black frame.
