Stencil Silhouette Canvas
Making art has never been so easy or looked so great than with this DIY Silhouette 
Canvas Project. For this do-it-yourself piece of artwork you will need a canvas in the size of your choice, acrylic paint, old magazines, scissors, Mod Podge and sandpaper. To create this craft you first cut up your old magazines and use the Mod Podge to adhere them to your canvas. There is no rhyme or reason to this, just ensure the entire canvas is covered. Once it’s dry, trace your silhouette/stencil with a pencil on the canvas and then paint over the remaining canvas.
