Canvas Scroll Wall Art

Hang a canvas scroll with your favorite quotes or song lyrics for instant wall art! Details at LoveGrowsWild.com

Any Nashville fans out there? If so, you’ll love today’s project! As I mentioned in my last Little Bits of Love post, I’m obsessed with this sweet little song from the show called, “A Life That’s Good”. If you could hear me through your computer screen, I’m totally serenading you right now! It’s one of songs that just speaks to your soul, and I honestly get a little misty-eyed every time I hear it. I wanted to turn the lyrics of the song into some kind of wall art, and I came up with this simple yet bold canvas scroll.

This project only took me about a half hour to finish with the help of a pre-made canvas banner from Canvas Corp and my Silhouette Cameo, but you can also create this project using these options:

– Make your own canvas banner with a little fabric or a drop cloth… just measure out the size you’d like (mine was 30″ x 14″) and hem all the edges, creating a loop at the top and bottom to slide a dowel rod through. 

– Purchase letter stencils from a craft store or if you’re really good, paint the letters on the canvas free-hand!

I created my own stencil in the Silhouette Studio software and cut the letters on vinyl. Then I applied the vinyl template on my canvas banner, using a rolling pin to smooth any air pockets in the vinyl. I’ve found the rolling pin to be a great trick to make sure your stencil is well-adhered to the canvas before you start painting! Then I grabbed a bottle of black craft paint and an old paintbrush (old ones work best for stenciling) and filled in the letters with paint.

Tip: If you want your letters to look more aged and worn than solid, dab your paintbrush on a paper plate or paper towel until just a little bit of paint remains on the brush.

After I finished painting in the letters, I carefully removed the vinyl and added a dowel rod to the top and bottom pockets of the scroll. I found 36″ long rods at the craft store and cut two 16″ pieces for my project. To hang the scroll, I tied a piece of twine to both ends of the top dowel rod and hung the twine on a nail. What a beautiful statement piece for my wall!

You could easily customize this idea with your favorite quote, line from a movie, or song lyric. Make it something personal and special for you!

So what do YOU think of this easy little wall art idea? What would you put on a scroll? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks to Canvas Corp and Craftistas for supplying to canvas banner!

    You did a lovely job Liz! I actually did a similar song lyric wall art a little while back. I had never heard of the pre-made scrolls so I made mine from a drop cloth and had to actually prime the canvas to paint on it. Wish I knew about the scrolls!

      Great minds think alike! The pre-made scrolls did make this project super simple, but drop cloth would be a great option too! Thanks so much for stopping by!

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🄺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!
