DIY canvas art / makeover

-

 

Assalamualaykum everyone!

We have been doing some art this week and they were mainly reusing canvases and painting on cardboard.The pictures on the canvases weren't pretty because we drew them when we were very small, so we decided to re - draw over them and turn them into something better!

Now, with that being said,let's get started!

We made a lot of art using cardboard, the main colour theme was green because it matches our living room.

This is the first picture we made together, it was so easy and fast, we simply taped random shapes using duct tape and water colored all the white spaces of the cardboard.



Khadijah made this beautiful cardboard canvas, we really love the compound leaves!



Hanah made this one, it consists of water colored feathers from our chickens and a pastel watercolor background. She also wrote some attributes that are found in our house.




Both of us made this simple art, using a brush we created splatters with different shades of green.








For the second art, we used this old canvas art Hanah did when she was small.


Since the rainbow she drew happens to be very bumpy, we carefully peeled it of making sure not to damage the canvas.



We then pasted white paper over the canvas and water colored it, after it was completely dried we drew a Dua on it.





We also made 4 mini cardboard canvases that was green themed again.

Hanah made this one.




Khadijah made this.




Again, she also made this.




And Hanah drew this.











We also wanted to include this canvas makeover we did months ago....
The picture looked really ugly so we re - painted it and we think it looks much better!




We made these mini art using clear CD cases.







We hope you enjoyed today's post and it inspired you to do some art like this.
We will see you next time.

Wassalam.

    Assalaamu alaykum! I love it when people reuse their items and turn them into something new mashaAllah, which is what you've done here. Such lovely, well thought-out artwork with equally lovely quotes. They look very nice on your wall! Love the chicken feathers in the corners of the canvas, a very special touch because I know how much you love and miss your chickens. The girls also have old feathers from their long gone chickens, they have a long feather from the tail of our rooster which they hold dear to their hearts. These little touches around the home is what makes a house a home. - Umm Hanifah xx

    I especially like the cacti painting since it reminded me of the cover of my drawing book.

                                               Assalamualykum everyone! It's Hanah here! I'm excited to share with you the gifts I received from my sister on Eid, they were all handmade with love and we thoroughly enjoyed making them for each other!    This gesture was inspired due to  Crafty Muslimahs , we really admire how they make handmade gifts for each other for Eid.   Making these crafts took a month or so - we didn't expect to make so much for each other, however we found it pretty addictive to make the gifts, and the best part was we did not show each other our gifts, it was definitely hard to keep it secretive until Eid, but we did it! One gift a day, made with the labour of love added to 13 in all! As the saying goes : " A little progress everyday adds up to BIG RESULTS! " Today is part 1 and I'll be sharing you the gifts I received from my sister! So here's an overlook at all the gifts my sister gave me on Eid!      ( I can't believe the am

                                               Assalamualykum everyone!                              We have an obsession for jars, we think they look so adorable. Every time we find a jar we recycle them into something cute.  Today we thought to show you 5 different ways to decorate jars!  Probably we might have shown some of these in some of our past posts, however we thought it would be nice idea to include all the jars in this specific post. And now, let's begin! This  jar is one of our best, it's a nebula jar and we really love the pastel colours in it! We reused this jar and we really like the gold lid! Next, we have this bottle with a heart on it's lid, we think it looks so cool!   we used this jar, We then added some shredded paper inside the jar, Using glue, we sprinkled glitter on the middle of the jar's lid, we made sure to leave the gold border around the lid. we used air dry clay to shape a heart,once it was dry we painted over it, and then we sprinkled  a
