Mondays Armchair Activity

Hello Hello!! 
Happy Monday,  I hope you all had a good weekend, as per usual mine was spent working, crafting and to be honest a lot of it was spent attempting to learn how to use "gimp" photo editing software... the extent of my limited talents can be seen below (don't worry I am getting better!!)
So other than doing lovely activities for you today I also have to spend some time sorting out my boyfriends mums birthday present and also my lovely friend Lydia's too oh my its going to be busy!!
Anyway here it goes...

MONDAYS ARMCHAIR ACTIVITY WOOOPPP!

Today we are making a.... Decoupage Canvas (or anything else you fancy covering in fabric and paper!!)

First you need to collect your goodies, a canvas, paper, fabric, lace, pens, pva glue and a brush.


Then cover your canvas in pva.


Now stick down anything and everything you fancy.


 Then stick down more stuff.


And once your done sticking everything down, then cover the whole piece in a layer of pva and then let it dry out... and it should then look like this;


As we discussed earlier in this easy activity, you can use pretty much anything for this, a vase, a glass, a jar, a box, a frame and anything else. But not an animal, oh and if you don't wanna get glue on your sofa then maybe you could do this activity on a tray and then on the sofa!!
