This project is all about bringing a touch of personalized chic to your space. It’s surprisingly easy, even for beginners, and totally customizable. Here’s what you’ll need:
Materials:
- Canvas (any size you like!)
- Wooden letters (unfinished or pre-painted in your desired color)
- Acrylic paint (in a variety of colors, depending on your vision)

- Sponges (sea sponges work great!)
- Paint brushes
- Baking soda (optional, for texture)
- Palette knife (optional)
Let’s get creating!
-
Plan Your Design: This is the fun part! Decide what phrase or words you want your canvas to showcase. Molly-Mae’s original sported a simple “GOOD VIBES,” but you can get creative! Inspirational quotes, song lyrics, or even inside jokes all work here.
-
Prep Your Canvas: Give your canvas a fresh base coat of paint if you want a background color different from the natural canvas. Let it dry completely.
-
Wooden Letter Magic: Here’s where the customization comes in! You can paint your wooden letters beforehand to match your color scheme, or leave them natural for a more rustic vibe. Use painter’s tape to secure them onto your canvas in your desired layout. For extra hold, you can use a dab of craft glue on the backs of the letters before placing them.
-
Painting Time! This is where you get to unleash your inner artist. Use different sized brushes and sponges to create a textured, layered look. Play with different shades and techniques to achieve the depth you desire.
Texture Tip: Feeling adventurous? Mix some baking soda with your paint to create a rough, textured effect. This adds a cool dimension to your artwork!
- Let it Shine: Once your paint is dry, carefully peel off the painter’s tape. Admire your work! If you want to add some extra polish, you can use a damp cloth to gently wipe away any paint smudges on the canvas itself.
Bonus Tip: For a truly unique touch, use stencils or stamps to add small designs or patterns around your lettering.
And voila! You’ve just created your very own Molly-Mae inspired masterpiece. Hang it up with pride and enjoy the instant chic vibes it brings to your space.
