Girl’s Room Décor Idea: Flower and Butterfly Painted Canvas #DecoArt

August 28, 2014 by Kaysi Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I have been compensated for this post.  All opinions, content and ideas are 100% my own.
My little girl’s room is starting to come together.  I wanted to add a little painting in her room.  Instead of using stencils like I normally do, I decided to just paint it free handed. It was actually very simple to do and really anyone can do this.  My favorite kind of paint is crafter’s acrylic so I used that to paint the canvas.

I used several colors of the acrylic paint from DecoArt.  It was fun to just blend them and just have fun with the paint.  I just used 16×20 white canvas.

First I painted one section green.

Then I added some purple and then just started painting.  I just winged it, that’s the fun of painting free hand.

Then I drew some flowers.

My favorite thing that I like about crafter’s acrylic paint is that it’s thick, so I was able to paint over things that I didn’t like or blend the colors together.

Once I finished it, I just added some command strips and then put it onto the wall.

And here it is in her room.

I love the bright colors of the painting and how it looks in her room.
