Step 1: Gather supplies. You just need a canvas, some painters tape, acrylic paint and paint brushes. I used 3/4in tape, but you can get it as skinny or as wide as you want it.
Step 2: Tape a crazy pattern on your canvas. Make sure to push out any bubbles if you want to have really clean lines. I missed a few spots, but I'm just saying it adds character. If you are really serious about it, you can also draw up a plan on your computer before you tape, to see what the end result will be. I just kind of randomly put tape on there, and I was happy with the result.
Step 3: Paint your piece! I used a pencil to mark which color was going in each spot, to make sure I got the look I was aiming for. After I was done painting, I was a little nervous.
Step 4: When the paint is still a little wet, remove the tape. If you let the paint dry, it might peel off with the tape. Since the paint is still a little wet, just be careful as you remove the tape.
Step 5: Show off your awesome new artwork! I am pretty excited about the end result!
And since I call this a fashion blog, it wouldn't be complete without an outfit picture! I turned my t-shirt inside out and made a little apron out of a trash bag to protect myself against the paint! Pretty classy, right?
Bonus picture: Look how cute my painting looks in the back of Brooke's car! It was meant to be!
Now I am excited about trying some other crazy art projects. Have you done anything artsy recently?
