I have seen some easy DIY sayings on Pinterest, and I thought I would give it a try. You can get very creative. Take a look at the ones I pinned.
This was the idea, white wooden words on a white canvas. It was selling for $500. My thought was…..no way.
These are by the same company and cost $50. It’s getting better. However, I thought I could make something like it and stick to my budget – not theirs. Well, guess what!!! I did, and it was under $10.
I started with a canvas I bought in a two-pack at Hobby Lobby. Then I found wooden letters. I decided to do the phrase “and they lived happily ever after.” I played around with them to figure out how I wanted to lay out the words.
When I figured out how I wanted them to look, I glued them down. You can use spray adhesive, but I just used some tacky glue I had on hand. After they were glued, I spray painted them white. I decided to go with white, but you could do any color and get really creative.
Isn’t it great!! I am planning out a gallery display to go on our stairway wall. This new work of art will fit in perfectly.

Best bit is you got both the saying and the font YOU like!
Very neat! I was just at Michael’s today and picked up a pack of 7 canvas’s and plan on doing something like this (different saying of course). I think it is such a neat little piece of artwork.
Yours looks fabulous!
Extremely cute!!! Love the placement of the text. 🙂
love this! i always like the look of this art, i have seen people use stickers, too.
Oh this turned out great! I really like this look and I am a big fan of the color white so this would be the color that I would go with also. That is so wonderful that you made it for under $10.00.
I love it! I’ve been “saving” many pictures on Pinterest so I can do this in the future. I have the canvas, the letters, and the paint. Guess I need to get to it!
Heather,
You should ready go for it!
