Add Vinyl To Painted Canvas. I painted the canvas with just regular white craft paint a couple of thin layers. I often get asked how to do i get vinyl to stick to canvas. As i mentioned in the video the canvas is already prepared with a coat of spray paint to make it a warm color and then a coat of gloss medium.
For the best results put a book or something solid under the canvas and use the silhouette scraper to really burnish the letters onto the canvas before removing the contact paper. A stretched canvas out of the packaging has a rough feel that your vinyl will probably not stick to.
You can either use acrylic paint or modpodge before you lay the vinyl down.
Adhesive vinyl will stick to a painted canvas better than a plain one. The only exception to this is when you are using glitter vinyl it needs a super sticky transfer paper. Make your acrylic poured canvas art by adding paint colors to one plastic cup. Place vinyl on cricut cutting.
