" Noted" Canvas Mini using Polishing Plaster!

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Michelle Sanders and I am happy to be back with you! I’m thrilled to share a unique and delightful creation — a precious canvas mini album adorned with the beautiful Polishing Plasters!  I just loved using this unique product to add texture to my pages.  So, gather your favorite Polishing Plasters and some scrap burlap or heavy canvas and let’s embark on this creative journey together!

I started out by cutting the mini pages out of burlap. (They are about the size of an ATC or business card.) Then I using a pallet knife I applied the Shimmering Sage Polishing Plaster and allowed it to dry well.

I repeated this process with a few heavy canvas pages to mix in as well and applied Jack Frost Polishing Plaster.

Once all pages dried well I used an awl to pierce the pages and then added two large rings to attach them.

Finally it was time to embelish my mini! I pulled out my stash of 49 & Market die cuts and layered them up on the cover with a bit of cheese cloth tucked under for extra texture.

As a finishing touch I stapled additional die cuts along the edges of each page to act as tabs on each page.


This really was a fun little mini to construct and I can't wait to fill it with tiny little journaling works!


Thank y'all for stopping by and I hope you were inspired to make something beautiful!
