Make your own falling in LOVE canvas

I need to thank today's post to Laura, from {Inspiration for Moms}. Her lovely post has the heart & soul of every crafter. You see something you love somewhere, you realise how much it costs, step back and tell yourself: "Come on, I can make that if I want to".

These canvases above and below are from Gorgeous Graffiti and are for sale on NotOnTheHighStreet.com for £100 and £300 respectively. If you have money to spare, go ahead and buy them. However, if you can think of a better use for your paycheque but still would love to have one of this on your wall, why not to give it a go and make one yourself?

You can buy a plain canvas, the size of your preference, for as little as £3 (25cm x 25cm). And you can get from pretty much any stationary shop that sells children items a bunch of wooden letters. You can get an entire alphabet for £2.60 (the plain ones) or you can spend a bit more and get some nice flourished fonts.

Glue them on your canvas than spray paint over it. VoilĂ , you have achieved the same result for much less and you can even adjust it to your needs. Write words that mean more to you than the pre-made ones, like Laura did here.

A suggestion: Why don't you write the names of everyone in your family with different size fonts? These would make lovely wedding gifts as well and you could make them unique.
