Dried Flower Christmas Tree Canvas

This Christmas canvas adds beauty to your holiday decor and is easy and inexpensive to make!

Here's what you'll need to make your own...

Stretched Canvas

Acrylic Paint

Burlap

Scissors

Tacky Glue 

Dried Flowers...For this, I used dried lavender and another type of flower bud.

Jute or ribbon

I first painted the canvas. You could paint it solid but I used a damp rag and used a wash technique.

I first painted it a light blue and then added a little brown on top of the blue.

I didn't paint the center because it will be covered up.

Make sure you paint the sides, though, because they will show.

I cut a piece of burlap, frayed the edges, and glued it to the canvas with tacky glue.

I glued 3 of the flower buds onto the burlap to form the tip of the tree.

Then I started gluing down the dried lavender to form a shape of a Christmas tree.

  Once, the tree was formed, I glued in more of the flower buds.

  

I used a twig from the flower buds to make the trunk of the tree, and made a bow out of jute and glued it to the trunk.

This would make a great gift that your friends and family would cherish for many years to come.
