The reverse canvas technique is surely addictive. When I do this type of diy I try to do them as unique as possible. As much as I want the Cricut machine to make my life easier with this style of Diy I kinda feel like I would be cheating. I like coming up with my own creative mediums to incorporate in these frames instead of a computer template. At the end of this feed I will give full detailed instructions on the reverse canvas technique for everyone who is not familiar. The Dollar Tree has a Holiday decor sign with a metal "Jingle all the Way" saying attached to it. As soon as I saw that I knew I could throw this in a Diy. The crazy mind started clicking. Back and forth in store till I figured it out. Reverse canvas using the metal word, that's it!!! So I picked up a 8x10 Dollar tree stretched canvas and did all the reverse steps. While my frame was drying I sprayed the "Jingle all the Way" in red by Rust-Oleum. After that dried it was time to add it to my canvas. At first I thought this was a failed project. The lettering was bigger then frame. So I started messing with it and to my suprise the letter "J" and "Y" rest nicely on sides of frame. Actually looks better then affixed inside the frame.
I shot some hot glue in those letter areas to keep it intact. My last step I added some simple not over the top accents to frame. Attached a mini bell to some holiday ribbon both from Dollar tree to center of frame . The little green xmas tree accent on the side of frame is actually a gift tag from a Dollar tree gift bag. So there you have it. Hope you like😀

Reverse Canvas Technique
1. Pick yourself up a stretched canvas. 2. First step is removing the canvas. Razor, box cutter or X-acto knife is your best bet. Slice at all side edges. Carefully remove canvas and put to side. With the canvas being white I suggest keeping it away from anywhere it can get messed up. You dont want dirty fingers either. 3. Once canvas is removed you now have a unfinished wood frame. You can either paint or stain it. I prefer to stain it. Make sure to give the frame a light sanding before applying the stain. 4. Don't worry about the staples in back of frame. I do however remove all pieces of canvas that were left over from removing. 5. Your next step is all on you. The possibilities are endless how you want to decorate your canvas. 6. Once your canvas is to your liking and wood frame is completely dry you will now reattach the canvas to back of frame. Staple gun is by far the best way to attach. I like to shoot a staple in middle of each side first. Then give each side a nice tug and staple all other ends. Three staples per side is perfect. Hope this helped. Internet is also a resourceful place for tutorials on this
