Home Sweet Home Reverse Canvas Sign

Craft Basics· Home Decor· Mantle & Tabletop· Wall Art

Have you made a reverse canvas sign yet? I’m super excited to show you my very first one and it was even easier than I thought it would be.

I’m going to be honest – I had no idea that there was a gorgeous wood frame hiding behind a blank canvas and I’m a little mad at myself for not making a reverse canvas sign sooner.

Supplies needed to make your own reverse canvas sign:

  • 11 x 14 inch Canvas
  • Home Sweet Home Iron on Transfer (other designs HERE)
  • Scissors
  • Wood Stain
  • Paint Brush
  • Iron
  • Staple Gun with Staples

Home Sweet Home Reverse CanvasFirst, remove the canvas from the wood frame using the scissors. You can also use pliers but I found it was just easier to use the blade of the scissors to cut the canvas. You won’t see that side so don’t worry about removing the staples.

Reverse Canvas SignSet canvas to the side and apply stain to the wood frame.

Reverse Canvas SignWhile the stain is drying, It’s time to apply the iron on transfer to the canvas. Center the image and just iron right onto the canvas. It’s as easy as that. Remove protective sheet and admire your canvas.

How simple was that? I told you it was an easy project to make a reverse canvas sign.

A few tips for making your own reverse canvas sign:

  • Removing the staples on the front of the wooden frame is optional. I think this will depend on the type of stain that you use. I was using a dark stain so I didn’t worry about removing the staples. If you decide to remove the staples, you’ll probably need to sand the corner with sandpaper.
  • Feel free to paint the wooden frame instead of using wood stain.
  • You can also paint the canvas black or a pretty color and use white iron on images. How cute would that be?
  • If you don’t have a staple gun, a glue gun would be a great option for reattaching the canvas.

    Thanks for the tips! I totally just tried this and am currently letting my newly stained frames dry before reattaching the canvas. One thing I didn’t realize was the dangers of oil based stains. How do you dispose of your supplies properly? I’m kind of freaking out now.
