How to Make Cute Home Decor for Laundry Room

Step 1 of 12

Here's what were starting with...(the canvas is 6 x 6)

Step 2 of 12

Mod podged some old papers and added fiber paste with a stencil. Just lay down stencil, then scrape paste over the top of it. Pull stencil off. You can use a heat gun to speed up the drying process.

Step 3 of 12

Added some green patterned paper with Mod Podge for grass. Next step is color!

Step 4 of 12

Getting there...used a combo of acrylic paints and different color spray inks. I rubbed it in with my fingers and a paper towel while applying the heat gun.

Step 5 of 12

Next step: use scraps of patterned paper to create little shirts, dresses, skirts, or pants. Adhere to canvas using Mod Podge.

Step 6 of 12

Here I've added some stamps using a roller just to create another layer of interest

Step 7 of 12

Using your pen (or pens) add some detail work to your clothes to personalize them. Also outline the clothes, as well as the grass.

Step 8 of 12

Using stamps, add a cute sentiment or quote. You can also paint the sides for a finished look. As there are 6 of us in my house, every day really is a laundry day!!

Step 9 of 12

Here I've added some rub ons to the background and the clothes. After this step, make sure everything is dry then seal with Mod Podge, gel medium, or a matte varnish. Let dry overnight.
