DIY // Scripture or Quote Wall Art

I recently made this for my daughter to (hopefully) keep forever and ever. It is her "life verse" that we used for her recent baby dedication.

This DIY is super easy and fun. It works great for scripture or your favorite inspirational quote.

What you will need:
• Magazines to cut up
• Scissors
• A printed (or hand-written) bible verse or inspirational quote 7"x7"
• 12"x12" canvas
• Mod Podge and sponge brush
• (Optional) All-purpose stay-flat glue. I used YES! Paste.
• Paint in your favorite color
• Paint brush
• Extra white paper

Step 1: Cut images out of magazines. I chose flowers but you can do patterns, cat faces, etc. Whatever floats your boat.

Step 2: Glue the bible verse/quote to the canvas using the YES! Paste. You can also use Mod Podge for this step but I chose not to because I am still a victim of its wrinkles.

Step 3: Paint the sides of the canvas, making sure that the paint creeps up onto the front a little too. It doesn't need to be perfect. The mag cutouts will cover it up mostly.

Step 4: Start glueing your mag cutouts with the YES! Paste however you want. It doesn't need to be glued perfectly. We will go over EVERYTHING with the Mod Podge.

Step 5: Keep pasting the cutouts all over until you completely cover the canvas.

Step 6: Cut out 8 strips of white paper. Four at 1/4" and four at 1/8". Glue them down to frame the quote/scripture nicely. Cut off the edges.

Step 7: Cover the front and edges of the canvas with Mod Podge. Let dry.

Now just hang on your wall and voila! A creative and meaningful piece of art!
