Today I want to invite you over to the DecoArt Mixed Media Blog where you will find my latest tutorial in which I show you how to create a steampunk style canvas from a pizza box.
I love up- and recycling boxes of all kinds and sometimes online stores send out their crafty goodness in pizza boxes - so I always keep those for later transformation into more crafty goodness ;)
In this tutorial I show you how to create lush and timeworn looking crackle and texture...
...how to use Brushos alongside the fab DecoArt stuff to add another playful medium to your mixed media projects...
...how to add texture by using stencils, fabric and found objects...
...how to incorporate old photographs and tiny treasures...
...and how to add those final touches that make it a fab grungy looking piece like this:
So get out all your hoarded treasures, found objects and stencils, your DecoArt paints and media and hop over to the DecoArt Mixed Media Blog to find the detailed step x step I have prepared for you!
I hope you will have a great play- and joyful time creating your own grungy canvasses from up-cycled pizza boxes!
Hugs and happy crafting,
Claudia
