What to do with this...
I found this...and I HAVE TO HAVE IT. But I can't find it as a wall decal anywhere.
I was debating free-handing it on a canvas to hang in my house, I dunno what else I could do?

You could always borrow someones cricut machine and print it out yourself. My aunt has one and we're printing out vinyl giraffes and her name... I love the quote btw.

If you don't want to freehand it, you can take it to office depot or any cheap print shop and have them blow it up to match your canvas size. Then modge podge it onto the canvas.
Foamboard would work well too and it would be cheaper than canvas.

I vote for freehand. I think that would give it the the same kind of look. Canvas is pretty cheap at Jo-Ann or Michaels and they always have a coupon!

Darn, I don't know anyone with a cricut!
I think I'm gonna freehand. Acrylic paint is ok on a canvas right? It's been a while since I've been in an art class.

Ooooh! I have a cricut! Come on over! lol!
And yes, acrylic is fine. And cheap. Perfect! If you wanted you could Mod Podge some kind of background on the canvas first, or if you are doing all different colors it might be best to just have it plain.

You actually could probably use Crayola markers too, come to think of it.

Re: What to do with this...
I have a bunch of acrylic paint that I haven't used in a while. If it's still good, I'll give it a go. I have some extra canvas in my closet...
I think Crayola Markers would bleed, no?
I've got some clear coat spray that's for wood...think I could use it on canvas when I'm done? Clear coat is clear coat right?
I think I'll paint the canvas a neutral and then freehand it. I have 3 paint sample cans left from when I was picking a color for the foyer. I'm gonna use those I think!

Re: What to do with this...
I wouldn't do the crayola markers. Maybe some permanent ones would work better. I've never used clear coat on canvas so I'd suggest googling it or calling the company. Personally I'd just do it. It's not like you'll be out a whole lot if it screws up.

Re: What to do with this...
Well, I pulled my acrylic paints last night and had myself a night! Man I miss doing crafty shit!
My handwriting is a hit or miss, and I only had an 11x14 canvas, I picked the ones I really liked and that was that.
I'm going to get a big frame and glue buttons, beads, glittery stuff... I'll put it in the foyer next to their pictures and growth chart.
