Potterybarn Number Canvas Knock-Off

So, I have been eyeing many
wonderful blogs featuring the tutorials 
for the well-known
Potterybarn Number Canvas Knock-off
and am thrilled to share with
you my finished product!
...
Here's my inspiration and
many thanks to Jennifer
for the great tutorial!

Here is my final product:


I love how the mod podged newspaper
gives it an aged look!




I started off by mod podging strips of
newspaper onto my canvas.


Next, I painted over the newspaper with
Antique White acrylic craft paint.
...
Then, I printed out my numbers onto
sticker paper. Some of the larger numbers took two 
sheets of sticker paper. 
...
I used a brayer to make sure the numbers
were as flat and secure as they could be.


Next, I gave my canvas two coats of 
flat black spray paint.
...
When it was dry, I carefully peeled off
the number stickers.
...
I gave the numbers a little walnut stain wash
and then sanded the edges
of the canvas.


Finished product makes me quite happy!




It fits right in on my entryway wall
full of numbers and letters!
