doily<\/a> that has pretty solid pieces with fewer openings. \u00a0If the doily has a lot of tiny strings all over then it won&#8217;t do a good job of creating a distinct pattern since the spray paint will be able to go around the tiny details.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to create this piece with black and blue. \u00a0Any dramatic contrast will be eye-catching. \u00a0Try to pick colors with high contrast in intensity. \u00a0This will make the pattern that you paint jump out even more.<\/p>\n<p><a

area, apply the spray paint using smooth, even strokes. \u00a0You don&#8217;t want the spray paint to be too thick, but you want to make sure that none of the bottom color shows in the open spaces.<\/p>\n<p>I made sure to spray the paint from a few different directions so that the edges are very distinct and the doily pattern is crisp.<\/p>\n<p>Allow the paint to dry for 10 minutes or until the spray paint is completely dry and no longer wet or tacky.<a href=\"https:\/\/bumblebeelinens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/doily-canvas-process-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

\u00a0Your art is ready to hang!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Fun Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You could use more doilies all over the single canvas if you wanted more of a cluster of patterns. \u00a0Just make sure that you can clamp the doilies in place. \u00a0Otherwise, they&#8217;ll move around and make it difficult to create a distinct pattern.<\/li>\n<li>Another idea would be to use painter&#8217;s tape in addition to your doilies to create a geometric pattern. \u00a0You could create stripes or plaid patterns with tape and doilies. \u00a0Just make sure that you use painter&#8217;s tape. \u00a0Any other type of tape will pull away your bottom layer of paint and\u00a0remove big chunks of color exposing the blank canvas beneath.<\/li>\n<li>My favorite idea is to line up several canvases corner to corner. \u00a0Use a single doily across all the canvases and use weights to hold it in place (since you probably won&#8217;t be able to clamp it). \u00a0Then spray paint as usual. \u00a0When the doily is removed you can hang the canvases in a cluster arrangement on your wall and they&#8217;ll fit together like a perfect puzzle!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a fun and easy painting project, try this Doily Canvas Art to create a unique painting in a single
