Materials needed to make a DIY wall art using a wood canvas, paint, paintbrushes and birthday card cutouts.

DIY Wall Art Using Birthday Cards

Start by painting your wood canvas in a color of your choice. I chose pink and white to match my daughter’s birthday cards. Let your wood canvas dry.

In the meantime, cut out your birthday cards and use which pieces you want to use for your wall art. I cut out a ballerina and diamond pieces.

Position your card pieces on the wood canvas and use Mod Podge to glue them down.

Next, cover the board with Mod Podge and use a paint brush to spread the glue evenly. Let dry completely.

And there you have it! A completely simple DIY wall art using birthday cards.
