Instructions: stretched canvas as a multi-talent

Dates, dates, dates.. The focus of our creative stretcher design is this time an information board! This Stretched Canvas is first of all completely covered with colourful woven fabric. On the rustic Jute fabric one you create an apple motif - a great eye-catcher! According to our division you will then receive two areas for your messages: With small clothes pegs you can attach your notes and on the board is enough space for your messages. Have fun with the rebuilding!

The base for the wall shelf is a stretched canvas 40 x 80 cm panel. This is first covered with a checkered fabric . To do this, cut the fabric to approximately 84 x 44 cm. To cover the board, apply a thin layer of Effekt Glue to the “ stretched canvas ” and then lay the fabric smoothly over it. Simply smooth out any wrinkles. Once dry, attach the “ stretched canvas ” to the back using Effekt Glue as well.

In the meantime, the painting board thoroughly board paint , possibly in several layers of paint. The dried painting board can now be secured to the stretched canvas with glue.

A rectangle measuring 32 x 36 cm is cut from jute fabric . Pull fabric threads out of the edges of the fabric so that the edges get fringes. The piece of fabric is glued to Stretched Canvas with Effekt Glue. Tip: Don't apply Effekt Glue all the way to the edge so that the fringes remain loose.

Now first sketch the apple with the Strich-Ex pencil and then paint it with Acrylic paint :
First apply the red tones and Cadmium Yellow thickly with a brush. The soft transitions between the Red- and yellow tones are worked with the wet-on-wet technique (yellow paint is painted into the still wet red paint and red paint into the still wet yellow paint). The stem of the apple, the shadows and the contours of the apple are painted with the Umbra ..painted on fire

For the note holder from Jute yarn two threads of approx. 50 cm length are cut off. Simply fix them on the back of the stretcher frame with hot glue, finally only still fix the wooden clamps.

Two more jute cords on the edge of the stretcher, which have a Paint sponge and holding a blackboard chalk , give the wallboard that special something.
