Welcome back my Beauties.

Last week I showed you my Budget Bohemian Bathroom Makeover and I promised to show you how I made the art work for my bathroom.

So here is how to make your SUPER Easy DIY Mandala Artwork.

To start you will just need a few basic items.

You don't need to use the same colors I used and you can "FREE STYLE" all you like.

This is just a guideline.

For my bathroom I chose Deco Arts Satin Enamel in Denim

and Deco Arts Metallics in Gold.

I have had this thrifted frame sitting in my stash for years.

I also had my 16x20 canvas panels in my stash.

The PERFECT fit for my frame. Can you say CONVENIENT?

I wanted something fun and eclectic so I chose to use my 

Mandala Stencil

Now to cover your canvas you could really use any brush you wanted.

Since I was rushing and I wanted large texture for my background I actually just used my 

wooster paint brush

It's the same brush I use for furniture.

I simply dabbed my brush with some of my blue paint and made LARGE swirling brush strokes over the whole canvas.

I wanted it to have depth so I didn't fully cover my canvas. I wanted some of the white poking through behind giving it texture.

Once the canvas was dry I grabbed my Stencil

and decided where I wanted it.

I knew I wanted to cover almost 3/4s of my canvas so thats where I laid it.

Then I grabbed my metallic paint and a stencil brush

and brushed on my pattern.

This is what I had after the gold. Notice all the texture now that its dry.

Now to make the frame feel a little more FRESH and FUN
I just used the same blue paint and filled in the canvas part of the frame.
It went on darker because of the different material and I LOVED the richness it added.
Once everything was dry I popped it in the frame and it was ready for its close up.

I love having something fun and eclectic in the bathroom.
I also like having something that is one of kind.

See, I told you it was EASY!
I can't wait to see what you guys make!
Until next time,
Have a BEAUTIFUL day!
