Have you ever been a little terrified to finish a craft project?

Like, you just have one step left but this one step could mess up the entire project if it goes wrong.

That’s how I felt about this Harry Potter acrylic paint poured canvas. I wasn’t sure if putting the decal on the acrylic pour canvas was the right thing to do. Because if the heat or the transfer paper ruined the paint on my canvas, I’d cry.

Big, ugly, crocodile tears. Kim Kardashian ugly cry you guys. It would be bad.

And I might’ve had a few. Because the beautiful blue canvas I had originally made got dropped and paint smeared/came off and I couldn’t use it anymore.

But you know what? I made a new one and it came out so great and it was perfect for my Harry Potter decal! So in the end I was happy.

Harry Potter Acrylic Paint Poured Canvas - This poured canvas is the perfect craft night project to DIY with friends! It's fun, messy, and no two canvases will be alike! You can leave them blank or use vinyl and your Silhouette or Cricut machine to dress them up a bit, like with a fun Harry Potter inspired quote or image...or really anything that you like. This craft project is colorful and easy, all you do is mix paint with water and pour!

Every year when September 1st rolls around I get a bit nostalgic. I miss diving headfirst into the newest Harry Potter book for the first time and finding out what my favorite characters had been up to. I miss all the guessing and theories that were swirling around about Harry defeating the horcruxes and who would survive the final battle.

SPOILER ALERT: I’m still not over Fred. I.Just.Can’t. ?

But even though the final three books completely wreck me I keep going back. I can’t imagine a life without my complete hatred for Umbridge (rivaled only by Voldemort), my loyalty to Dumbledore, my love for the Order and the quirkiness of Looney Luna Lovegood.

Tutorial

I just want to put a disclaimer out here right now….I was scared out of my mind to put vinyl on this! I didn’t want to mess up the design so I had to psych myself up to do it. It took a few days.

Okay…now on to the tutorial!

You can do this one of two ways: with heat transfer vinyl OR permanent (651) vinyl. I chose HTV.

+ Cut your vinyl with your Silhouette or Cricut Machine and weed the design.

+ Heat your Cricut Easy Press to 330 degrees (timer should be on 15 seconds).

PRO TIP: Find a piece of wood to put on the back of the canvas so you have an even surface when you press. If you don’t, you’ll see the edge of the press on your canvas. ??‍♀️

+Lay your vinyl on the canvas, place a teflon sheet on top, and press with your EasyPress.

And that’s it! You’re done!
