The Monster Makeover has begun!
I’m redoing my boys room with monsters, and the main attraction will be these fantastic monster paintings/portraits.
Love. Them.
I bought the Bump in the Night Cricut Lite cartridge specifically for this project, and look at all these great monsters! Boys stuff is getting better everyday, yes?
This project is easy peasy and you can, of course, do any kind of theme you can find a cartridge for – flowers, butterflies, animals, etc. The Cricut Lite carts are really great too – most of them are very specific to one theme and they have tons of images for that theme. The Lite carts don’t have all the extra accessories/words, etc. so you get fewer designs but they are pretty intense so it works out.
Paint a cheap canvas with acrylic paint. Do it nice and thick for bold colors.
Cut out your design (or draw if you’re amazing like that) and trace all the pieces onto the canvas with pencil. Paint to your satisfaction and voila!
Our little family of monsters!
super cute kels. i’m inspired.
Those are really cute!
I know! I’m so proud of this idea, and I love how it’s turning out AND how inexpensive it is. So cheap! I need to find something I can paint to go over our bed since that wall has been bare for almost 6 full years now…
That is a wonderful idea!!! I can’t wait to see the finished room.
Really cute! I love the monster theme, so I’m looking forward to seeing the whole completed makeover :)
Nice! I love a friendly, colourful monster any day! My son has one that guards him from scary monsters in the night. It’s from Monster Factory, a Canadian company that makes amazing stuffed monster friends – perhaps a good compliment for this lovely room?! Check them our: http://www.monsterfactory.net/
