Lighting canvases can light up events, your home or even weddings and parties. These really are pretty simple to create with just a few tips. Now, we know that a lot of people have seen this very idea on Pinterest and we just wanted to share our own take on the project.The first step of many projects is getting all your materials together. For this project you really won't need very many items. You will have to have a canvas, a string of LED lights in the color and count of your choice, a screwdriver or some other instrument to poke holes through the canvas and paint if you want to paint your canvas before you put your lights in.
The next step is making an outline.You can make an outline on a sheet of paper or even directly onto the back of the canvas. This is just to be a guide for when you make holes. You can make them in a design or you can make them random. That part is up to you. Just be sure you know how many lights are on the string and the spacing between bulbs.
Now you can actually start your project. If you want to paint your canvas, then you should begin there. Paint your canvas and be sure to let it dry well. You should probably even let it dry overnight. That way you can be sure it won't be sticky or get smudged in the process of poking the holes.
After you have made an outline, painted and figured out the bulbs spacing as well as count, you can start punching holes in the back of the canvas. Line up your paper outline if you made one or just start punching one hole at a time directly through the canvas. Following right behind with placing a bulb through each hole.
The last step is just plugging up your lights and you are done. You can now just sit back and enjoy.
Try out this project and see what you think. You will also find that we have a wide selection of LED Christmas lights that would work perfectly for this project and so many others.
