Gradient Canvas with Paint Chips

So this is a quick and easy project that will add colour to your home:

Materials list:
  • Paint chips - grab some samples from Bunnings in large and small cards. The chips need to be in sequencing colours and I used 3x4 small chips with larger matching colours mixed in for each canvas
  • Cream coloured paint - or you can paste straight to the canvas. Up to you :)
  • Glue - any craft glue will do
  • Mosaic mirror tiles - I got a box of these from Bunnings
  • 3 or more canvases


The Process:
1. Paint your canvas and let it dry.
2. Lay out your paint chips and mirror tiles in a gradient order to see what it looks like:


3. Once you are happy with the order begin to glue them down:


4. You may have a bit of trouble like me with curling edges. Put something heavy on top to flatten the paint chips while the glue dries. I used my other canvases:


5. Repeat process for two or more canvases until you get a gradient like this:

 
EASY!
