Why I love this craft
If you’ve spent any amount of time on my blog or YouTube Channel, then you’re most likely already familiar with my love for reverse canvas crafts. I’ve been asked why I prefer to use a canvas versus a frame and the answer is simple.
I enjoy crafting with canvas and they can create some pretty cool looking craft projects.
What is the best way to remove canvas from the frame?
Since the beginning of my reverse canvas journey, I’ve settled on using a pen blade as one of the safest and convenient ways to remove the canvas from the frame.
Some people call the pen blade an Xacto knife, craft knife, or like to use a pair of sharp craft scissors to score along the edge of the canvas frame. Regardless of what you like to use, you’ll want something that is sharp enough to cut canvas.
The inspiration for this craft:
I haven’t made a Valentine-themed reverse canvas craft until now, but I felt a little inspired by this Framed Valentine Gift Bags craft project. Pair this with the reverse framed bow and you’ll have a pretty picture collage.

This Framed Valentine Bow Craft is the perfect inexpensive way to add beautiful seasonal decor to any space in your home.
Materials
- 4x6 stretched canvas (Dollar Tree)
- Decoart Americana acrylic craft paint (color: blush pink)
- ribbon
- hot glue
Tools
- pen blade
- scissors
- 1" flat paint brush
Instructions
- Watch video. Follow along with the tutorial video for a step-by-step walkthrough on how to make your own framed Valentine bow craft.
- Remove the canvas. Use a pen blade to safely remove the stretched canvas from the frame. Also remove any excess left around the staples.
- Cut canvas down to size. Use the frame to trace a pattern to cut and trim the canvas down to size. Be sure to cut just inside the marker line.
- Paint the frame. Paint the front side of the frame (not the stapled side) blush pink (or a color of your choice).
- Assemble the canvas. Attach the canvas to the back of the frame using a generous amount of hot glue.
- Create the bow. I used chiffon ribbon to create a bow using the bunny ear method (watch the video to see how I did this).
- Attach the bow. Use a tiny dab of hot glue to attach the bow to the frame.
