Spring Artwork for the Home

I love a great DIY project that’s easy. Especially with the changing seasons, being able to create something that doesn’t cost a lot but can help add pretty seasonal touches. This project was actually inspired by the Country Living Fair in Rhinebeck this June. I will be doing a workshop there and I needed to create a project that could be done at the make and take event. For some reason, lemon’s were on my brain and I decided to create some pretty lemon art. I think it adds that cheerful spring/summer vibe to a shelf or wall and you could totally make this with other photos or sizes.

8×8 Canvas board

Foam Brush (2)

Lemon print out (I got mine from this site)

Step 7

Add another thin layer over the print to secure it to the canvas.

Step 8
