A few people have commented on the Quick Paint Living Room Makeover that they really like the Airplane Artwork that I created. Today I am going to tell you how you can make your own. And just because I’m awesome (well Matt is since he created the artwork) I am going to include a link so that if you would like to create your own airplane art you can by downloading the PDF!
wall art, crafts, d, About 13 years ago I was at a thrift store and found this horrific mushroom painting in an awesome square canvas for $5.00. Needless to say it went home with me and got a paint makeover to make my then current decor scheme.
At the time it perfectly matched every color in my home and even an area rug I had purchased! Jealous aren’t you? hehe I think Matt humored me with this painting for quite some time so when we decided to give the living room a makeover I mentioned wanting to paint over the canvas and I swear I saw a little glimmer in Matt’s eyes! He won’t admit it, but I saw something!
I started the makeover by painting the canvas with KILZ to try and cover some of the bold colors that were already there.
And then added a second coat of gold covered in yellow/green. Once the base coat was dry Matt cut out the huge airplane stencil on our large vinyl cutter.
Once the base coat was dry Matt cut out the huge airplane artwork stencil on our large vinyl cutter.
We applied the stencil to the painted canvas and painted the negative areas white.
Remove the stencil while your white paint is still wet and touch up any areas with a small brush that you might have missed.
Once your touch-ups are done your airplane artwork is ready to hang!
Now it’s your turn to create your own airplane artwork! Matt was kind enough to create a PDF file that can be printed or converted over for creating a stencil on your own vinyl cutter! Just Click HERE to download the Vintage Airplane PDF.
I love it! So cute!
WOW that looks awesome girl!
That’s is fantastic, you guys! I love the simple shape and bright fun color!
This is amazing! I think it’s so cool to have original artwork, created by the two of you, in your home. Talk about a signature look! Hope all is well with you and the bambino. ~Ann

Love this update. I’m working on transforming my little guy’s room in to a “big boy” room. I may end up using this idea. Coming over from TT&J.
Great way to makeover cheap Goodwill canvasses or those marked down ones at Homesense!! Love the airplane silhouette too!! Pinned!

I spied this some time ago and instantly fell in love! My dad, husband and sister are all pilots. I am so anxious to make one of these for each of them! Thank you for sharing your talents!!!
Hey Connie! We’re so glad to hear that you like our Airplane artwork so much! My Dad used to fly and has always been fascinated with any aviation related, so I guess he passed on the interest to me!
