Love Is Patient Canvas Sign
Materials
- 16 x 12 canvas board
- Love Is Patient Script 12x16 Stencil
- Valentine Scripture & Love Sayings Set (6pk)
- Stencil Brush Set – Pure Natural Bristle
- Pale pink paint (Sharon used Rose Water by Fusion Mineral Paint)
- White paint
- Painter’s tape
- Cardboard or paper towel for offloading paint
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Paint the canvas background.
Start by painting a 16" × 12" canvas board with pale pink paint, covering the front and sides. Allow it to dry completely, then apply a second coat for full coverage.
2. Position and mask the center.
Place the Love Is Patient script stencil onto the canvas. Once aligned, take the Love Never Fails stencil from the Valentine Scripture & Love Sayings set and tape it in the center. This protects the space that will become your focal message.
3. Stencil the scripture background.
Using white paint and a stencil brush, offload most of the paint and fill in the words from the Love Is Patient stencil. Apply a second light coat if needed, then carefully lift the stencil.
4. Add the center message.
Reposition the Love Never Fails stencil in the center of the board. Fill it in with white paint using a stencil brush. Let it dry, then apply a second coat for crisp, bright lettering.
5. Define the center border.
Using the edges of the Love Never Fails stencil as a guide, carefully trace around it to create a subtle border. This helps define the protected area and keeps the design neat and well-centered.
Helpful Tips
- Dry brushing is key. Always offload paint before touching the stencil.
- Two thin coats give cleaner lettering than one heavy coat.
- Place a book under the canvas to prevent sagging while stenciling.
- This design also works beautifully on wood signs or framed art.
