You can do this with any color that you want! I chose pink because that's the colors in my room and I just love pink. You can even do multiple colors and even glitter, like this one!
Here's what you'll need:
3 colors of paint (your choice), the original color, a lighter color and white. I wanted pink so I chose red, a light pink and white.
Canvas (any size will do, I used 8x10)
Newspaper or packing paper for your workspace
A plate for mixing colors
A square brush (you can use any size, I used a 1 inch)
How To:
Step 1: Lay down the newspaper on your work surface so you don't get any paint on it.
Step 2: Shake the bottle and squeeze out a good size amount of the original color paint you're using onto the plate. In mine it was red.
Step 4: Add a little bit of the light color into the original color and mix it. I added the light pink into the red and mixed till it was a different shade.
Step 5: Paint another stripe next to the first one you painted. Now repeat steps 4 & 5 until you get to the very end. You can paint the white stripe or just finish off with a really, really light color that's almost white.
Step 6: Let your canvas dry completely.
Once it's dried there you have it! A really easy, simple and cute decor piece! :) You can set it vertically or horizontally, or any direction it's up to you!
I hope you guys enjoyed this simple DIY tutorial! If you create an ombre striped canvas tweet me a picture so I can see! I love seeing how other people do them! :)
Till next time lovelies!
