Eiffel Tower Silhouette on Canvas





Materials:
-Canvas
-French books
(I used French to English dictionary and a random book written in French)
-Mod Podge
-Scissors
-Black paint
-Paint brush









Pull pages out of each book. Arrange the pages on the canvas first, without using the Mod Podge. Have edges of the pages sticking off of the canvas so you can fold them around to the back, giving the sides of your canvas the same book page background. When all is in place, ModPodge away. (Amazing stuff, isn't it?! :P) I put the Mod Podge on the back and front of the pages... not only does it glue everything down, but it will wrinkle the pages a little, giving the canvas a great texture. 





When the pages dry, paint the silhouette of whatever you'd like. I chose the Eiffel Tower to go along with the French page thing.

I gave this to Ashley to go along with her Paris themed bedroom. What do you think?






With love,
Cassie
