You won’t need much to complete this summer DIY.  All you need is a canvas, spray paint and some stencils or sticker letters.  You can also free hand your letters as well with a paint pen.  Choose bright colours to really pop this summer and catch some attention, this project will look especially nice outside.  Trending colours this summer are “fire” inspired.  So we are seeing coral, deep reds, bright reds, pastel yellows, turmeric and yellow-gold.  We’re also seeing lavender, bright green, ocean blues and royal blues.

How to create a DIY Letter Art Summer Canvas

What you’ll need:

• 12 x 18 white canvas
• Coral spray paint
• Teal spray paint
• Glue
• Stick on letters
• Black paint pen

How to achieve it:

Spray your canvas using the directions on the side of the can.  You may need two coats, allow both to dry completely between coats.  

Once the canvas is dry, add the word “Hello” to the top. I had black letter stickers and since I wanted this summer sign to pop, I sprayed them with some teal paint. Some glue may be needed when sticking the letters to the canvas.

Then you can add the word “Sunshine” diagonally across the canvas.  I used letter stickers for mine.  Try to use a different font or size for each word as this gives the completed word are a fantastic look.

Next, add some fun sayings using the paint pen. You can write anything you like, but since mine will be for the patio, I wanted something relating to that.

That’s it, your DIY printed canvas is complete!  If you’re looking for more ways to bring in summer take a look at our Boho Cake Stand. Looking for a delicious summer dessert recipe? These Campfire Cupcakes by Champagne and Sugarplums are perfect!
