So I attempted a Pinterest project last night. I was feeling very ambitious and thought "this is going to be awesome and I can not wait". Then I entered Hobby Lobby and went on a crafters over load, my Pinterest would not load on my phone and realized I was in way over my head.
I wandered around the store for a little over an hour with my girlfriend while we gathered supplies for her project and then I said "I think I will just wing it".
I was wanting to do a large canvas, with vinyl stickers and paint the canvas in a teal. After much realization of the possible cost of all the craft supplies and was having crafters remorse before it was even purchased. The vinyl bird stickers were $24.99, the canvas was $22.99 and I still had to buy paint. Then we stumbled upon the 2 pack canvases for $3.99, they were significantly smaller than I wanted, but it would be a good practice. But what to do about the vinyl birds? I found an awesome stencil and figured it would work out well.

Simple steps
1. Paint canvas to desired color
2. let dry and then apply stencil and paint stencil
3. let dry and hang where you want.
I will be on the look out for Hobby Lobby to have the vinyl birds and canvases on sale, that way I can try the actual canvas project I wanted.
I am very pleased with the results and it is currently hanging in my bedroom.
