A fun project using the PVPP method. Follow these easy steps to make a cute little canvas print for any holiday or season!

A fun project to make using your Silhouette Cameo and chalk paint! Follow these easy steps to make a fun little decor piece for any holiday or season!I didn’t do as much Christmas crafting with my Silhouette Cameo as I had hoped to this year, but I did get a few projects in this month including some Christmas Countdown Blocks and this adorable Reindeer Print.

This was my first project ever using chalk paint and I’m in love! It’s awesome to paint with and worked great for this stenciled canvas print!

Supplies
Silhouette Cameo
stencil vinyl
paint/paint brush
canvas or wood board
weeding tool, transfer tape, scraper

To get started, I used two coats of white chalk paint on my canvas and let it dry throughly before applying my stencil.  I cut the stencil out using my Silhouette Cameo, weeded the negative space, and applied it to the canvas using transfer tape.

I love how this project turned out! I’m already thinking of some other prints I can make using this method because it was super easy, the lines were crisp, and I don’t have to worry about vinyl lifting from the canvas down the road.

This little guy looks so cute sitting on the bookshelf with other Christmas decor!

      Hi Deb! I used “Ten Miles in the Snow” from Prairie Colors, but I’ve also recently used folkart brand that I picked up at the craft store – works great, too!

    Thank You for all the information you share…
    I want to try the PVPP method, I mean i have i just worry about getting those ” crisp” lines too and NO Bleeding…. I would have never even thought of painting my base coat…putting my stencil down and then painting the same base coat color again over my stencil…what a GREAT idea then paint your top coat wait till dry and peel…awesome-sauce Kelly….thanks again…

    Hi, I’ve never done anything like this, so you’re advice is great! I’m going to try to put lights behind the canvas, so I was going to skip the base coat and put the vinyl directly on the canvas, hoping that the lights shine behind the words to illuminate them enough. Do you think this would stick as well to canvas?

    I’ve also heard about mod-podging around the edges of the vinyl stencil to keep paint from bleeding, but hoping the paint colors won’t look different over the modpodge parts?

      Thanks so much for stopping by, Ashley! I love the project idea you described! I have not put vinyl directly on canvas without first painting a base coat, so I’m not sure how it will turn out. You might need a coat of mod podge to help it stick. I’ve also heard the trick about mod-podging the edges of a stencil, but the one time I tried it, it did not end well. So I stick to using just paint to help seal the vinyl to prevent bleeding. Hope that helps…good luck with your project!

    thanks so much – wondered why chalk paint? versus just acrylic paint? have you ever tried it?

      Chalk paint is just what I used on this project, I find it has better coverage with just one coat, but I also use acrylic for a lot of my projects.
