HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
I hope you all are enjoying the first day of 2013! I can't believe how fast 2012 went for me... what a ride!
Today I want to share with you something I had been wanting to make for a very long time. Probably ever since I first heard the phrase "Keep Calm and Craft on". So a few weeks ago when all the Christmas chaos was happening, I decided to make a pegboard painting for my craft room!
I had been working on a baby announcement painting at the time and since all my supplies were out I thought I would kill two birds with the same paintbrush, lol! I was so busy though I completely forgot to photograph the baby announcement painting to show you :'(
Here it is! Isn't it awesome!!! I love how it turned out and how it keeps my stuff pretty and organized all in plain sight for easy access! I think it's one of my best ideas yet!
To make my pegboard painting I first painted the canvas. Click here for a tutorial of how I make my word art paintings.
Once the painting was dry, I hammered in 2-inch nails all around the frame of the canvas. Yes, of course damaging the painting... I had mixed feelings at this point cause I really liked how the painting turned out... but got over it pretty quick once I saw how functional it became!
Here it is all nailed up before my supplies were all hung.
Hope you liked this tutorial/idea... maybe it will inspire you to create one for your craft room! I hope this painting will keep me calm in 2013 while I continue to craft on!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting :)
