Hot Glue Canvas Art

You can draw with a pencil, marker, or crayon, but did you know you can also draw with hot glue? Yes, this solid-to-liquid adhesive dries hard and is a fun way to add a layered and raised texture to your canvas. Give into this textured look and create a piece of boho canvas art for your home or office featuring a trio of arrows. Finish off this unique piece of art with a canvas frame, like the Seraphina Floater Frame, that incorporates that country charm with those rustic elements into your existing décor.

Supplies:

• Seraphina Canvas Frame
• Canvas
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue
• Acrylic Paint and Paintbrush
• Pencil

First, draw out your design lightly on your canvas.

Next, plug in your glue gun and trace your pencil drawing.

Cover the entire canvas, including the hot glue, with a paint color of your choice. Tip: two coats are probably necessary to provide good coverage.

Once fully dry, secure your canvas in your frame.  

The light color of this Seraphina canvas frame allows your design of choice to stand out. Its subtle texture compliments the raised look of this glue gun art.
