So this project looked way cooler on
pinterest,
than what mine turned out to be.
{I guess that's why I blog right..
so you don't make my same mistakes?!}
I'm kinda sad. Oh well :)
...anyways!
Elmers glue art.
Pretty self explainatory...
MATERIALS:
* Canvas
* Elmers Glue
* Paint {I used spray paint... at first}
I drew lightly with pencil
what I wanted to outline in glue.
{I decided to write
"Do more of what makes you happy"
{I would not advise doing a quote... }
& also a seperate design}
&& lightly erased the lines.
{I didn't worry about them too much
because I knew I'd paint over them}
After your done drawing
outline everything in glue.
HERE'S WHERE I MESSED UP:
- Keep in mind the amount of glue that you
squeeze matters... I tried to put a consistent amount
out... but when it dried... it was still
Now..
being the problem solver that I am...
I figured I could just put another coat of glue on everything
to even out the lines..
Looks good right?
{it did not help...}
So after two coats of glue,
my quote was still hard to read.
{Boooo... What now?!}
Well I needed to paint it
so maybe that might help
my quote stand out more.
&& not look so
Attempted the spray paint.
...It was terrible.
Didn't spray right, wasn't even working,
didn't cover my pencil lines...
{You've gotta be kidding me right?!}
PART 2:
After deciding Elmers glue wasn't going to be the end of me,
&& taking a couple day's break from this horrific project,
I was ready to conquer this canvas.
MATERIALS II:
* Paint
* Paint brush or roller {I used a roller}
* Paint thinner {Optional, I used it}
* Small cup for mixing
Okay taking this slow...
Paint the canvas, Easy enough right?
the design looks good...
but my quote is still an
Epic Fail.
{Maybe hanging it on my wall will make it look better...}
AKA: Can this project get any worse?!
Can you even see that...
be honest.
{"Barely"
-Yeah that's what I thought.
it's in "high contrast" too... }
By this time
I'm literally cussing at my wall.
-I guess not every project is as easy as it seems,
&& "Elmers glue on canvas"
is terribly decieving.
Awesome.
I have a 24x36'' canvas
that looks like
SHARPIES!
{Sharpies fix everything}
Armed with a bold tipped sharpie,
I'm determined to slay this Elmer's art.
{or at least make it stand out for gosh sakes}
An hour later I'm done outlining
"Do More"
&& my sharpie dies.
I'm uber thrilled to make
for this f***ing stupid project.
...UGH!
{To be completely honest:
I even hate blogging about this...
that's why it's taken me so long to post!}
Okay.
Four. Count em... 4. Four. IV.
sharpies later along with
five
Boom.
The project from hell is
put to the ultimate test
{to be hung on the wall and look decent}
...Nope.

Maybe there will be a
Part Three
where I wash the whole canvas
abstract style
with a light lime/yellow green
that's accented in my room.
Or maybe
I just paint my whole wall in my room
so the painting finally stands out.
Elmer's Glue = 1
