I’m sure you’ve seen those really trendy DIY quote canvas crafts in stores and all over Instagram. They are eye-catching, motivational, or sometimes, just funny.

Personally, I am a fan of the motivational DIY quote.

I like to have them where I can see them. It’s like having a little pick me up for your day.

I especially love how you can decorate them with your own style. And it’s even easier if you use a Cricut cutting machine for the designs.

I get commissions for purchases made through some of the links in this post. There is no extra cost to you. See my full disclosure here.

This also makes canvas art a great gift to give, for smaller special occasions like teacher appreciation week, a housewarming gift or a secret santa gift for crafters.

Canvas Art

Not only do they make great last-minute gifts, but they can also be used as a creative art activity for groups. Activities like Paint and Sip parties are fun to do with friends.

Instead of painting a canvas, have everyone create a diy canvas quote craft.

Start by choosing a quote. If you’ve already taken my free course that teaches you how to make your own svg quote, you’re set!
