How to Create Easy Wall Art with Spray Paint

 

This easy art project with spray paint is so simple that your kids can do it.  Actually, if I had younger children, I really would let them do it.

I really love that creating your own decor from random inexpensive things is so popular now, because I have been doing it for years.  I hear people say that when they shop and buy new things it makes them feel good, but it doesn’t make me feel good.  Making decor out of things I already have and for less money makes me feel good.  

I had these two canvases in the garage from when I redecorated my daughter’s room.  I could have purchased two new canvases, but I thought I would paint over these, and save the money.  Would you expect anything different from me?  If I did not have any canvases, I would have looked for some cheap canvases at the thrift store to paint over.  You can usually find them for about $2 each.

I sprayed the two canvases with white spray paint and let it dry.

 

 

I sprayed the outer two stripes with gold metallic spray paint and let dry.  

I sprayed the center with silver metallic spray paint. 

 

On the second canvas, I sprayed the stripes with the opposite colors.  You could paint the second one exactly the same way you paint the first canvas, and I still think it would look sharp, but I wanted them different colors.

I really enjoy creating my own easy wall art with spray paint that I have on hand instead of purchasing art.
