How amazing would these little canvases look on your child’s bedroom wall, or on any wall in your home for that matter?

These canvas tags are just delightful – perfect for gift-giving and also ideal for wedding favours. We’re not going to go into too much detail about these little treasures because the instructions are all written out for you, so all you have to do is follow along. Fellow crafters love the fact that you can print on fabric, then simply send your designs to be print and cut. The canvas has an adhesive backing which saves on gluing. We’d love to know how go with these: aren’t they just adorable?
7. Growing Footprints
Again, this is all done on canvas! The instructions for this fabulous idea are possibly not as complete as they could be, so this is where you’ll have to start using your own imagination. The idea is brilliant, and you get the general idea from the above finished product. Anyone with a new baby will want to create this wonderful memento of their little ones first months on earth. Can’t you visualise your baby’s dear little feet permanently recorded on a canvas print?
8. Paint Your Own Canvas Shoes
Now this is a fabulous idea we just have to try! What we love about this idea is that you don’t have to be a brilliant artist to customise a pair of canvas shoes. Anyone can do this! The instructions for this project are very clear and well written, so if you have the inclination and you’re willing to give this a go, you can now ensure that your or your child’s shoes are always an interesting talking point. Another bonus with this project is that if you make a mistake, or you’re not happy with the way things are progressing, you can simply paint over the area again, or reapply primer (allow it to dry) and then draw and paint your design again.
