This project was inspired by this post that I first saw on Pinterest and comes from the lovely ladies at A Beautiful Mess. I decided that I wanted to make my own to hang in my dorm room.
First I used large canvas that I got in at Micheal's and painted it with rainbow splotches. You can really paint any background you want.
Then, I chose my quote and cut out the stickers that I need. My quote is, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imaged" by Henry David Thoreau. After I placed the stickers, I drew guidelines on the canvas and stuck them on.
After I made sure the stickers were down securely, I poured white paint all over the canvas.
Then I spread the paint around. It took three coats of white to sufficiently cover the rainbow underneath.
Once the white was dry (I used a hairdryer to speed up
the process) I peeled off the stickers, and ta da! A great poster with
one of my favorite inspirational quotes.
