Baby Shower Gift

So enjoyed painting this alphabet on canvas with my friend Judy. We divided the canvas into 26 squares (these don't have to be perfect or even, we decided to vary the sizes) Then using graphite paper(found in craft store...like a carbon paper), we transferred letters on canvas.

Next, we painted letters using acrylics.  We actually decided our patterns and colors as we moved along row to row.  Then we sprayed with a gloss varnish to seal and protect the paint.  And finally trimmed with ribbon using a glue gun.

Supplies:
24 by 36 canvas
acrylic paint
variety of fonts (thank you Carly for pulling these off the computer)
graphite paper
ribbon
gloss varnish sealer

Personalized for Chrissy, Geoff, and baby
