MINECRAFT Canvas Art
The week before Christmas, we celebrated my son's 12th birthday with a Minecraft themed party. In case you missed that post, you can check it out HERE. I showed a picture of the Minecraft canvases I made and I'm back today to show you how I did it.
I made three canvases: Creeper, Enderman, and TNT
The materials I used were: canvases paints vinyl painter's tape paper cutter Mod Podge
I used 12 x 12 sized canvases. I had picked up a pack of 7 at a yard sale for $1.
I also bought some craft paint for $1 or less per bottle. The colors I used were black, white, green, red and light purple.
I used some black vinyl, the kind you'd use for a Silhouette machine. Using a paper cutter, I cut the vinyl to the desired size square or rectangle.
CREEPER To make the creeper, I painted the entire canvas green. It took 3 coats to get good, solid coverage. Once that was dry, I added the vinyl. I cute large squares for the eyes, and rectangles for the nose/mouth. To make sure the vinyl stayed on, I put a layer of Mod Podge over top.
TNT I sectioned off the canvas into three equal parts using painters tape, and painted the top and bottom red. I cut vinyl into rectangles and squares to form the letters. After applying the vinyl, I brushed on some Mod Podge to keep it all in place.
ENDERMAN I painted the entire canvas black. Once that was dry, I taped off the eyes and painted them white. Once the white was dry, I again taped off the eyes and painted the middles purple.
We are getting closer to completing his Minecraft themed room. All we need is a desk and rug, then I'll do the room reveal.
