Scrap Paper Canvas

One of my favorite, easy, cheap crafts to do is scrap paper canvases.
I first made some when we lived in San Francisco for Maggie's room.


The other day I was decorating my shelves for Valentine's day and had some empty space.
I went through my craft dresser and found an unused canvas,
and decided that that would fill just enough space.

The first thing I do is sketch an idea...

Pick the paper scheme I want...

Cut and paste everything together...
Mod podge the cutouts onto the canvas...
Distress the edges and random spots on the canvas...
And finally I mod podge the entire thing...

The finished project... viola!
