You Will Need (6 things)

  • Black electrical Tape
  • Paint Brush
  • Painters Canvas
  • Mod Podge
  • Magazines
  • Silver Thumb Tacks

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    I grabbed about 5 magazines and cut out words or short phrases that caught my attention.

  2. 2

    I then brushed a light coat of the all-surface Mod Podge onto a small section of the canvas and started placing my words randomly. This took me about 45 minutes. Once the Mod Podge was dry I brushed a light coat over the entire canvas.

  3. 3

    I wanted to finish off the edges a bit so I grabbed my black electrical tape and wrapped it around the canvas.

  4. 4

    Then I added silver thumb tacks on two edges for a funky effect.

    I don't have magazines in any of our bathrooms because I want you in and out, thank you very much. So this is a tongue-in-cheek way for me to provide my guests with some "entertainment" in the loo.
