Who doesn't love an inspirational quote? The good news is Pinterest and Instagram are full of them so there are plenty to choose from. We went with ‘Live your best life', because, well, who doesn't want that?!
Once you've decided what you want to say, choose the corresponding letters from your Alphabet Craft Wood Kit – you can pick these up from the craft aisle at your local Bunnings. Arrange the letters on your canvas, positioning them any way you choose.
How you colour or paint your letters is totally up to you – we decided to spray paint ours black, giving our canvas a light all over ‘graffiti' look. Remember if you're doing this it's important to wear a mask. Give your spray can a quick shake, then hold it around 20cm from the letters and spray lightly across your canvas.
Give everything a bit of time to dry, then carefully remove your letters (you can flip your canvas and shake them off if you like) – and voila, your masterpiece is complete!
How easy was that? Now what are you waiting for – go out and live your best darn life! No excuses!

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
