Bust-Out Christmas Canvas Tutorial

Let's create this pretty nativity bust-out canvas! In this tutorial, I’ll guide you step-by-step through creating a round mixed media Christmas piece that’s attached to a round canvas. This style is super popular on social media right now, and I'm thrilled to share my first attempt with you, complete with several tips and tricks I've picked up along the way. It’s a fairly easy project, and the end result is fabulous. Let’s get creative and make a pretty piece of art to delight your loved ones this holiday season!

I haven’t seen a round one of these and I can say I really like it.

Love love love this! I have never seen the round canvas’ ( or it didn’t register with me). Your technique makes it look so simple…I would have been terrified to start cutting into the canvas. But I’m going to try one! 🤔🫣🤞🏻

[@maxinelovescrafts]

This is really beautiful. I’ve never seen this kind of project and two so far on this playlist. Very creative ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@PaintingCrafty]

Thank you Maxine. I did a quick KZbin search for them and there was a video from 10yrs ago showing it so I guess it has been around for awhile 😀but it was new to me as well. It's definitely a craft style that could be done in so many different ways. Have a blessed weekend ❤️

[@CreativePageswithCatherine]

Really cute project. I think it looks better without the lights. But, I did like that you added the twine around it at the end. I may have to work on a breakout card once I figure out where my set up is from our move!

[@PaintingCrafty]

Thanks Catherine. A breakout card sounds interesting❤️

[@sheilas.6170]

[@lizsanabria5541]

Really adorable love this style

[@PaintingCrafty]

Thank you for watching❤

[@jodit1]

Love the break through. I hadn't heard of it before. Did you place your lights above the canvas or just let the light shine through multiple holes. TY

[@PaintingCrafty]

I tucked it in between the the two. The round canvas has fairly deep edge and worked great as a shadow box. I poked the hole through the mixed media piece and then strung the lights from the back and tacked them down with hot glue on small pieces of fabric around inside of the canvas frame. The lights I used have a timer so they should work perfectly. Hope that all makes sense. Happy Creating ❤️

[@ktbon231]

Nice

[@PaintingCrafty]

Thank you, I really enjoyed creating with the round canvas ❤️

[@gloriawellington1444]
