DIY wall art with tape!

I was checking out DIY wall art projects online and came across one that looked easy and fun to do! I got two canvas's at walmart for $5 and bought cheap paint that I liked (97 cents each). We already had painters tape, so that made this an even cheaper project. In addition to it being cheap, it was also quick! I think in total (with chasing Bailey, feeding Bailey, and trying to get the sweet girl to nap) it took me about 30-45 minutes.
After I taped it, I painted. This was my first one...so I didn't really do the best job taping since it ended up bleeding through a bit more than I liked.

Painted and drying. After I let it dry but still a bit wet, I pulled off the tape.

And here is the first one! I took this after I touched up a few spots with white paint.

On to the second one...


Much cleaner lines since I really made sure the tape was stuck nicely to the canvas and without bubbles. I think I only touched up about 2 little places!

All finished!

I imagined these in the bathroom, so this might be their new home. I am going to have to move the clock because I don't like how it all looks bunched together.

This was a super easy and cheap project, just like I thought it would be!
