1. Tape off sections of canvas. I used a 16x20
Horizontal : Outside edge of tape every 5.3 inches
Vertical: Outside edge of tape every 5 inches
2. Pucker up and smooch! For the first two vertical rows, kiss closer to the right than the centre to keep things...centred!
(because everything before the outer edge of tape is still part of your square)
3. Remove tape and, if desired, write names of each lipstick shade
Make sure to use a fine tipped Sharpie that won't bleed on canvas
4. Spray with a couple coats of acrylic sealant or, in a pinch, hairspray
I've seen a few things like this on Pinterest that have been done for a bachelorette party, but I instantly thought it would be a perfect way to catalogue some of my favourite lipsticks and add a little decor to one of my rooms. Before marking up your canvas, make sure you do a couple practice rounds on paper to get your lip print just right. If you make a few mistakes (like I did) , just chalk it up to the fact that "it's art" !
