DIY Tiny Hand Painted Canvas Home Signs

I found the cutest little canvases at Target this week and they were on sale! They ended up to be only $1 each! They are hand painted and couldn't be cuter as a little accent in a tiered tray or around the house.

I began with these inexpensive supplies:

Most of these supplies I already had around my house. 


Supplies needed for mini canvas signs


First, I drilled holes in the top of my canvas to secure the wire.

I placed a wooden bead on each end of the wire and stuck it into the hole I drilled with a drop of hot glue.

The hot glue holds the bead in place and the wire in the hole.

After that easy step was the design.


I drew a very light line across the center of my canvas using pencil to find the center.

Using a Sharpie marker I drew the word I wanted across the line. 


hope, hello and home signs


When the Sharpie was very dry, I erased the pencil line.

If you're not good at hand lettering, you can either use a rub on transfer or a stencil to create the words.


You can also paint the canvas, or decoupage a design onto the tiny canvas.

I painted this canvas black then used a chalk marker to draw the heart.

This would be cute with a red background for Valentine's Day too!
