A while back Kate decided to make a night light using lightweight canvas fabric. The results are an illuminated one-of-a-kind art piece. Your design options are limitless, making it work with any interior and in any room. It could also make for a great shop sign! The following is what Kate assembled to make hers:
- lightweight canvas fabric or muslin, not primed
- stretcher bars or pre-made frame (Kate’s is 16 x 20)
- 2″ x 2″ wood (enough to make a frame 1″ shorter on both sides than your art piece’s dimensions)
- acrylic paint (Kate used regular old craft paint)
- one large and one small paint brush
- pencil
- light bulb and socket set (Kate used an Ikea pendant light kit)
- heavy duty staple gun
- tracer light box, optional but helpful
- computer and printer
- mitre box and saw
- hot glue or nails
