Had an extra canvas laying around….thought it would be fun to make a Christmas decoration with it. All you will need is
A canvas
Some pretty Christmas color fabric
Mod Podge
Fusible interfacing (med. weight)
Cut a piece of fabric large enough for your tree design. I google Christmas Tree…then found one to print on the images tab on google. Lay the fusible interfacing (sticky side onto wrong side of fabric).
Iron the interfacing to the tree fabric. This will ensure the fabric doesn’t “bleed” through when you glue it to the canvas.
Pin the cut out tree template on the the fabric. Cut out (I used pinking shears…because I love them)
I then cut out some other fabric scraps that I thought would make cute “presents” under the tree. Using Mod Podge..glue all pieces onto the canvas. Using a sponge brush–go over the entire canvas (will dry clear). Let it dry and put on another coat. I like to do 3 coats. It will last forever ;) What do you think?!?!
Be Inspired to be Clever ;)

Tracie,
I think it's just the cutest idea…thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for the tip on "why" to use fusable interfacing. I would have never thought about the fabric bleeding on to the canvas….well until after it bled!
Cute project! A great one for the kiddos to do :D
You're the best!

Gosh that looks so cute and sounds so easy … that makes it a winner in my book!
Bravo!
Your project really caught my eye. I think it looks terrific. Using fun fabrics on canvas is such a good idea. I think this project could be adapted for any kind of theme – Christmas, springtime, Thanksgiving, etc. I can't wait to try it! (Isn't Google Images the best thing since sliced bread???) Nice job on your project!!
