How to make a twinkle light Christmas canvas

DIY Twinkle Light Christmas Canvas - how to make a Merry & Bright Christmas canvas with fairy lightsThis is a sponsored post on behalf of DecoArt as part of their Core Blogger program.
Hello friends, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a great week celebrating with our family from Southern California and Nevada. We begin our festivities early on in the week and spent each day with delicious food and good laughs. I assume the majority of families begin their Christmas decorating the weekend after thanksgiving and that’s just what we did. Well, with the exception of our Christmas tree since that’s been up for a while. We did however decorate around the house and put together mini Christmas trees in the kid’s rooms. Now I’m working on finishing up on filling a few shelves and the mantle with Christmas decorations. My latest DIY is this Merry & Bright Twinkle Light Canvas.DIY Twinkle Light Christmas Canvas - how to make a Merry & Bright Christmas canvas with fairy lightsI’ve always wanted to make a twinkle light canvas and until I made it I didn’t realize how easy they are to put together. You can use twinkle lights (also called Rice Lights and fairy lights) or traditional Christmas lights. I personally think the tiny twinkle lights look the best. I’ve included Amazon affiliate links below to the products I use to make our Merry & Bright canvas.

How to make a Twinkle Light Canvas

Supplies:
8×10 Canvas
American Paint in Neutral Grey
Vinyl Transfer Tape
Twinkle Lights
Cutting Machine
Vinyl
X-Acto Knife


Step one: add 2 coats of Americana paint in grey, allowing the first coat to dry for a couple hours before adding the second coat.


Step two: find a shape/saying in the Silhouette store for your canvas. You can easily create your own with the TEXT option and a pretty hand lettered font. Size the font/shape to fit your canvas. Cut your shape using white vinyl.

I highly recommend the Cricut Clear Transfer Tape. This is the best transfer tape I’ve tried and since it’s clear you can easily align your vinyl using the margin lines.

I love this! It is so pretty and not too hard to make, and so much cheaper than getting it at the store! I think I might have to add this to my Christmas crafting list. :)

What kind of battery pack/lights did you use?

Won’t regular white lights be too long?

Great idea! Thank you for sharing.

Do I understand you push the lights all the way through or just so they stay in place?

I just ran across your idea on Pinterest. Love it! If you use the rice lights, though, do you still need to cut holes? Just curious because the lights are very tiny.
