Though Halloween and Christmas are pretty much the reasons for my crafting, the environmentalist in me recognizes that I should maximize the use or purpose of my items. I love all the little canvases that are for sale now. But, I'm no artist so I had to find a way to make something with a canvas I had picked up months ago on a whim.
I saw a project where the maker used a paper wreath glued to a pre-printed canvas to make an accent piece. I challenged myself to take the same concept and apply it to Halloween, taking the project one step further by making it displayable beyond the holiday.
I used this simple wreath shape from Miss Kate Cuttables, but changed the colors to reflect a little bit 'o Halloween and a little bit 'o fall. I emulated the pre-printed background of the original project
by mod podging a muted Halloween paper to the canvas as a background. Some black paint along the edges helped to bring out the wreath colors even more. In just a few hours, I had a completed project.
