How to Make a Joy for the New Year Mixed Media Canvas

If you're looking for mixed media craft ideas, consider creating your own wall art. Learn how to make a Joy of the New Year Mixed Media Canvas from Candace Jedrowicz and dip into your supply of doo dads, knick knacks and thingamabobs. Look forward to the future with this fun craft.

Begin by painting your canvas using any color you choose. Use glue to adhere Masonite triangles, letters and other embellishment to the surface. Begin layering on dimensional pieces such as buttons, gems and small toys. Brush glue onto canvas and gently add seed beads to any gaps or untouched spaces. Finish by adding extra embellishments. This piece will light up boring spaces and can be hung up all year long.
