Crafty Shmafty

So over the past few weeks I have come down with a bad case of the crafties. Yes, it's a real disease. I cannot stop itching to paint, craft, sew, draw....etc. Anyways, along with a few doses of Pinterest, and a handful of glorious ispirations, today is the day I will ACTUALLY give my ideas life! Hoorah! So wish me luck on my venture to be a crafty woman. yowzah.

Today's project:

DIY chevron paintings

Supplies needed:

- I purchased two 16X20" canvas boards (both only costed $4.99...what. a. steal.)
- 3 or 4 tubes of acrylic paints. (I'm painting mine a mint-ish green color)
- paint brushes
- 1 roll blue painters tape
- chevron pattern stencil (I found mine on google)

So wish me luck as I venture out and try and duplicate those oh so beautiful paintings shown above. I will post pictures as soon as I am done! This could be a doozie...
