Canvas Pun

What's crafting without a little bit of canvas pun? I mean, fun. 

From Big/Little to Grad Gifts, I sure did a lot of crafting last summer. I'm not kidding when I say I went to Michael's every week. I wish I was, but no- my bank account says otherwise. 

Anyway, here's two of the pun-tastic canvases (one's actually a clipboard) that I painted. 

​Enjoy!

Believe it or not- I didn't like this canvas at all when I first made it. I was trying out some Pinterest ideas and originally thought that the geometric design would be a perfect dorm room addition for one of my friends. At first, I was very impressed by how easy it was to make. 

But the more I looked at it, it just didn't seem complete or personal. So, I decided to give it new life (and a "boho" feel) by adding the deer antlers. ​I added the pun to add an even more personal touch.

"Oh deer" is a perfect description of our friendship. We're a bit of a mess but we somehow still get away with it and can laugh about it.

This second one is a clipboard I painted and included in a friend's Freshman Survival Kit. I absolutely love how this came out!

​Between this and a tray that I painted for Big/Little (You'll see that one too, eventually), I'm really enjoying painting things that are also functional items. 

Anyway, I hope this post gave you some dorm decor ideas as well as DIY school supplies! 

If you enjoyed this, stay tuned for more Big/Little posts and finally, the "college stuff" part of this blog.
