Why I love this craft
When I first came across the “busted canvas” craft style, I instantly knew I wanted to make a few of my own. So far, I’ve made one for just about every holiday and a few seasonal ones, like this one that’s perfect for spring. Just like reverse canvas crafts, a busted canvas can be customized in any style or theme.
Can I use any canvas?
For busted canvas projects, you’ll want to make sure to use a stretched canvas. For this particular craft, I also incorporated a flat panel canvas to serve as the backing for my decorative decals. I’ve used other things with other busted canvas projects, like a scrap of cardboard or really thick cardstock, if you can’t find a flat canvas panel.
The inspiration for this craft
I’ve done several busted canvas crafts, all of which equally serve as an inspiration to continue making them for more seasons and holidays.
