 For the hop today, I'm sharing an faux canvas wall hanging 

that I made for my daughter's room...she loves the chalk-art look!

To get started, I gathered my supplies:

Tombow's Xtreme Tape Runner, Glue Pen and Fastener Tabs;

DCWV's Chalk-Art Stack and May Art's Ribbon and Pom Pom Trim

The thing that I love most about crafting is improvising! 

Nothing makes me happier (well, almost) than upcycling or recycling an item!

I rummaged around in my supplies and found a wooden crate-type box and an 8X10

flat canvas.  The box wasn't quite as wide, so I trimmed the canvas down with a 

heavy-duty box cutter.

.

Of course, you can purchase the canvas blocks and achieve the same look!

To the wooden slats on the sides of the crate, I added the Xtreme permanent adhesive.

Next, I cut some of the Chalk-Art paper into strips and adhered to the sides:

I wanted the texture of the canvas to show through, so I decided to paint it rather than

cover it entirely with paper.  I gave it a coating of lime green and then cut one of the cute

Chalk-Art subway-art style prints out and adhered it with the Fastener Tabs.

I chose these tabs so that the subway art could be changed out with other pieces 

that can be found on the same sheet!

I used the Tombow Glue Pen to add the small die-cut letters to the scroll shape.  

A couple of small knotted ribbon was added to the sides of the scroll so that it

appears to be hanging from the chalkboard sign :)

I also trimmed the edge of the canvas with pom pom trim by May Arts.

Now it's all finished and ready for hanging or sitting on a shelf!
