It is best to paint the canvases the day before decorating so the paper adheres better .

Step 1:
Dye enough white paint to paint the 5x4 canvas and to edge the 5x7 canvas.
Step 2:

Step 5:
Take the 1x7 B&T and distress the edges. Attach directly underneath the cardstock
keeping the edges flush.Set this canvas aside and get the 4x5 canvas
Step 6:Take the 3x3 B&T that is torn in half and distress the edges. Attach to opposing corners
of the 5x4 canvas keeping the edges flush.
Step 7:
Adhere the picture to the 5x4 canvas-centering it.
Step 8:Tie the tulle into a knot at the bottom of the picture-if you prefer- you can also tie it to the
top. Trim if needed.
Step 9:Attach the green flowers to the center of the barn red flowers using liquid glass.
Step 10:
Place the dimensional flowers to the top of the 5x7 canvas and then the 5x4 canvas and
get the spacing equal. Using the half inch glue dots adhere the dimensional flowers.
Step 11:
Put 3 glue dots across the back and on top only of the 5x4 canvas. Adhere the canvas to
the 5x7 canvas allowing the bottom of the 5x4 canvas to hang below the 5x7.
Step 12:
Using the half inch glue dots, attach a piece of ribbon to the back of the 5x7 canvas.Make it long enough to be able to hang the canvases on the wall. Cover the glue dots and
ribbon with cardstock so the glue dots wont stick to your wall.
