How to Paint A Design On Needlepoint Canvas

April 6, 2021 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

Do you have a needlepoint design in your head that you would love to make?  This tutorial from Needlepoint for Fun shows you how to paint a design on a needlepoint canvas.

It explains everything you need to know including:

  • What kinds of canvas there are
  • What kind of paint to use
  • What kind of brush to use

Not only that, but the article provides step by step instructions and photos to help guide you through the process.  The author also includes some tips and troubleshooting hints.  There is even section on transferring lettering to a canvas.

As many of us know, needlepoint kits can be quite expensive and sometimes the design you are looking for just is not available.  Making your own canvas is a wonderful and unique alternative.  You can make whatever you want and you know that you won’t see it anywhere else.
