Teacher appreciation Canvas art

This month is Autism Awareness and next week is Teacher appreciation. Since my children attend a Charter school for children on the autism spectrum I wanted to make my teachers gifts have a slight autism theme to them.

teacher-appreciation-canvas-finished-quote

Since the symbol for autism is multi colored puzzle pieces I decided to make those my centerpiece, and found a fun puzzle quote that seemed teacher appropriate as well.

teacher-appreciation-silhouette-fabric-interfacing-puzzle

I used my sihouette machine and fabric interfacing to cut out puzzle pieces from some riley blake fabric squares I had is some fun bright colors

Then I ironed them onto the canvas (I placed a piece of cardboard underneath while ironing to get it nice and stiff)

teacher-appreciation-canvas-vinyl-stencil-silhouette

Then I cut out the teachers name and the quote in vinyl (also using my silhouette), since I want the vinyl to be a stencil pull OUT the words.

I received a bag of some AMAZING Plaid- Martha Stewart collection products for my mothers day project (More about that next week) and inside were these AMAZING brush tops that attach right onto the paint bottle.  AMAZING  I love love LOVE these tops!

So I pressed the vinyl stencils onto the canvas (again use the cardboard underneath to get crisp lines) and painted right over the vinyl.

peel off the vinyl and your done!  I love how they turned out!   And my kids are excited to take them to their teachers next week!  What are you doing for teacher appreciation?  Don’t forget to go link up to this month’s Point of View!

      Thanks so much! It was a small free sample pack from Riley Blake at a blogger meet up last summer. It has been sitting on my sewing table just waiting to be used for something fun!

      I think they did! I forgot to make something for the assistant teachers though and I feel bad!
