This DIY plaster wall art project was daunting at first. We had three canvases that we miraculously purchased for $9.00 from Value Village! We knew we wanted to make these puppies shine. But how?
Cue CB2’s “White Wave” plaster wall art, which retails for $549.00 each! Our wallet definitely couldn’t afford THREE! That’s where we step in. Take a look at the Tools and Directions for this DIY Wall Art below!
TOOLS
•Plaster of Paris
•Paint (5 colours of choice)
•Bristle Brush or Steel Wool
•Palette or Putty knife
•Old paint (for added texture)
•Wrapped Canvas (x2)
•Old, Curdled Paint (if need to be discarded)
DIRECTIONS
•Using the putty knife, generously apply the wet plaster onto the canvas approximately 1/8” thick.
•Using the bristle brush or steel wool, create lines and texture into the plaster for added dimension
•Allow the plaster to dry for 24 hours.
•Apply a base coat of paint to the canvas.
•Using the remaining paint colours, spread splashes of colour amongst the canvas to create visual interest.
•If you have old paint that has curdled, you can added the paint atop of the plaster for added texture.
•Allow the old paint to dry for 24 hours.
