How to Use a Cricut Machine to Upcycle Canvas Art

A little while back I shared with you all how I transformed a piece of canvas wall art my sister-in-law gave me.  I also mentioned that I had one more that I was going to change around and this is it.  So today I’ll be sharing How to Use a Cricut machine to Upcycle Canvas Art.

The very first thing I did was simply to paint it green.  This is one of the accent colors in my living room.

I then made a stencil using a Show-Offs Stencil Blank and my Cricut Explore using this method here. 

I had designed this stencil for the Awesome Quotes theme that I did in my Resource Library a few months back. 

The stencil cut files is in the Resource Library.

I placed a few books underneath the canvas until the books were the same height as the wood edging that the canvas is stretched over. 

The books gave the canvas a solid surface for the stenciling. 

Then the canvas was stenciled with this awesome quote from Corrie ten Boom.

I also added one of my floral borders on the sides of it just because. 

I hope this How to Use the Cricut Explore to Upcycle Canvas Art project inspires you.
