December is a weird time for college students. One half of the month is super stressful and filled with long nights at the library, while the other half is spent relaxing at home, probably by a cozy fire. During this crazy month, it’s important to take time for yourself, decompress, and remember to celebrate the holidays. And what’s a better way to do that than DIYing Holiday gifts and decorations!? I found some inspiration on Pinterest and decided to try my hand at them. Here’s one that I thought was really fun!

 

What you’ll need:

  • Canvas

  • Paint

  • Brushes

  • Pencil

  • Ruler

  • Canvas tape

  • Paint marker

 

Step 1: Outline your plan.

Step 2: Use canvas tape to outline the letters.

Step 3: Paint over the entirety of the canvas.

Step 4: Wait to dry and then peel off the tape.

 

Step 5: You can keep the letters white or fill them in with another color.

Step 6: Outline the letters to define them more.

 

Step 7: Add an accent color and hang it up!

This was really fun to make, and I hope you guys feel inspired to do your own DIY projects for the holidays!
