Working on the Boys Room - Dino Canvases

Another project for the boys room was an idea to put up some canvases.  A long time ago I had purchased these for Owen's nursery with full intentions of putting some kind of favorite storybook lines/quote on them.  While I still would one day love to make that a reality, the idea came together for these so much better than we ever expected!

We started with 3 16x20 white canvases. I bought mine at Michaels.

We used my Cricut and a Dinosaur Tracks cartridge to cut out the silhouettes and tag shapes below the names.  I knew we wanted to pick a few cute dinos and also wanted to like the meaning of their names.  So we picked our favorite three, researched to make sure the names matched up with their meanings and got to work.

Using different patterned scrapbook paper we cut the dinosaur shapes and circular tags out.  We chose to use a solid coordinating cardstock for the lettering and border strips.  We used the George cartridge to cut out the letters.

All 3 ready for gluing.

We placed the shapes and words using scrapbooking adhesive.  Once they were glued down, we coated them with Modge Podge to seal the canvases and keep everything in place.

After one coat of Modge Podge.

In their final destination above the crib!  Another project we loved doing and love having in the boys room!!
