Tips & Fun Ideas

• Attaching Eye Screws: I've found that it's easier to first hammer a nail halfway down the spot in which you want to place your eye screw. Remove the nail and then attach your eye screw.

• Use the back side of the canvas to create keepsake and shadow boxes. It's also a cool place to frame a photo or stash a mini accordion album. Using two 6" x 6" canvases and a set of hinges, I did just that.

• Mix and match canvas sizes to create unique and eye-appealing wall arrangements. Simply add coordinating paints and/or fun geometric patterns and you have cool, inexpensive home décor art.

• It is okay to use power tools: nail guns and drills are acceptable!

• Use Canvas Panels to create adorable mini albums.

• The Crop-A-Dile punches through Canvas Panels like butter! Below, Michelle Tornay did just that.

• The canvas is stretched across a wooden frame. Screw in cup hooks or other fun decorative knobs to hang items such as keys, wooden letters and other trinkets.

• Caution: Creating with canvas is addicting!
