I'm all about that tape

Today was my school system's 11th snow day (tomorrow will be the 12th!). I love watching the snow fall, but I am starting to run out of things to do! As I was looking through some boxes this morning, I found some canvases that I had painted for my college dorm room.

HOw to get the Lace Look!
My lace paintings were perfect for my dorm room, but for some reason when I found them today I had only one thought: CHEVRON!  And my snow day project had begun... 

How to get the Chevron look!

You'll need a canvas, spray paint, and the love of my life... painter's tape (sorry, Dan).

1. Divide canvas into thirds, wrapping tape all the way around the edges.

2. Connect lines using alternating diagonals, matching the angle as best you can.

3. This is what a completed tape job should look like. *Make sure all tape seams are sealed tight!
4. Spray paint entire canvas in the color of your choice. Immediately and carefully remove tape, then allow time to dry.

This turned out to be the perfect project for today! Making your own wall art doesn't need to be time consuming, overly complicated, or expensive. I was able to reuse old canvases and I already had spray paint. Don't tell Dan, but I used up all of his painter's tape...

...cuz I'm all about that tape.
