You won’t believe how easy it is to make your own modern boho-style plaster art on canvas at home using material you may have in the garage! <\/em><\/p>\n

Ready to create some trendy wall art on the cheap?!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I love testing viral DIY<\/a> crafts and have been wanting to try my hand at making canvas art by using drywall joint compound<\/a> on a canvas. It looks like a beautiful plaster but is actually the material meant for smoothing out the seams in new drywall and repairs.<\/p>\n

Plus, with Christmas just around the corner, this DIY canvas art could make an inexpensive and meaningful gift idea<\/p>\n

This textured wall art is as easy as spreading frosting on a cake and is so satisfying and fun to create! <\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The actual design for this drywall art is up to you, but consider making these trendy modern arches!<\/h2>\n

I noticed this arched rainbow design is very popular right now as abstract art. I personally love this trend and its minimalist boho vibes! You can either leave your design white or go even further and paint it after it’s dried. Either way is beautiful. The textured look is so amazing.<\/p>\n

I am sure there are specific drywall spreaders you can use, but I had cake decorator frosting scrapers<\/a> on hand and those worked out as an easy tool to make waves, arches, and circles.<\/p>\n

This textured canvas art project is such a frugal DIY craft!<\/h2>\n

I stopped at my local thrift store to grab a couple of canvases for a few dollars each. You can of course buy whichever size blank canvas you’d like new, but I love the idea of making over an existing canvas. Using either an older piece from home or from a thrift store is a great way to repurpose and save money.<\/p>\n

We already had the drywall joint compound in the garage, as well as white house paint, so this is a very low-spend design project!<\/p>\n
