I love creating decor for the house! There’s nothing more satisfying than putting my own personalized touches on my space. Whether that’s setting up a picture ledge for the hallway, creating whimsical art for the kid’s bedroom, or adding something fun to the front porch, I have a passion for DIY. Today’s project features the tutorial for a DIY Abstract Art using stencils from Stencil Revolution.

Gather the supplies you’ll need for this project:
- canvas board, 18″x24″
- Stencil Revolution Honeycomb Stencil, 24″x18″
- turquoise spray paint (I used this one)
- gold leaf (I used this one)
- liquid glue
- small paintbrush
DIY Abstract Art
Start by taping the stencil right onto the canvas board. The stencils are laser-cut so the images are sharp. Plus, the stencils are on a firm plastic sheet so it stays in place easily.

Take the canvas outdoors and spray paint using short, light sprays. I intentionally tried to make the coverage somewhat uneven because I wanted the piece to look natural & organic.

Once the spray paint is fully dry, use the paint brush to apply some glue onto the canvas in a random fashion. You can just load the brush with some glue and create lines, zig-zags, swirls, … anything you like.

Then apply the gold leaf to the canvas and using a clean brush, brush away the excess gold leaf. This is a messy project, but the results are fabulous. I love how the gold leaf really shines & sparkles.

I wound up creating a random organic diagonal line across the canvas with my glue so here is the final result of this project!

The colors are perfect for my home office, but this project can be personalized to your decor. You could get creative and add various paint colors to this piece. The possibilities are truly endless.

I eventually decided to hang this piece on a blank wall in the corner of my office. Every time I look up at it, I smile knowing that I created it for a fraction of the cost of a store-bought version.

This project would not have been possible without that gorgeous Honeycomb Stencil from Stencil Revolution. By the way, they sent me two other stencils: the Home Stencil and the Fish Scale Stencil. I see many more home decor projects in my future!
I would love to create an accent wall in either our entryway or our master bathroom using one of the Wall Stencils. Stencil Revolution has Wall Stencils, Animal Stencils, Decor Stencils, Animal Stencils, Nature Stencils, Sports Stencils and so much more. You can order the stencils in small sizes for doing a fun craft or in larger sizes for creating an accent wall. Each of the stencils are made of durable mylar (with a thickness of 10 mil), which makes it easy to clean and reuse.

I love the colors of your artwork. I’ve never thought to use stencils to create art. What a great idea!
Thanks Alli! With abstract art, there are no rules. You’re only limited by your imagination. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
So neat. I just love how this turned out. I’ll have to try this and get some stencils!
I love DIY Abstract Art! Your Artwork turned out amazing. This would be so much fun to do with my daughter.
I think I would let the kids do this and use it to decorate the upstairs. I have a few of their originals on the wall already.
Oh my gosh that looks so easy to do. I was just thinking about hanging some art up in my house and it would be fun for me to create it along with my kiddo.
Yes, my kids love helping with all my arts & crafts!
I used to love DIYing my own art work but I’ve not done it for ages! I think I might have to give this idea a go as it looks amazing.
Thanks so much! You should definitely try this. It was a piece of cake!
That is a great art piece and the idea you came up with so creative. We have always been a couple that admires art so I might try my hand at this for our house.
Your artwork turned out really cute. We’ve made a few abstract art pieces. Our family has a unique perspective when it comes to art. There’s a gallery at a college in Rochester, NY named in honor of my uncle and funny thing is all of the kids inherited his love of art.
That’s amazing about the gallery in Rochester! I guess art runs in your blood! Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Those colors are perfect! I adore being able to say, “yea, I made that!” This is one of those projects that would right up my alley <3
I love artwork like this. In fact, I just bought an abstract canvas that doesn’t look nearly as good as your DIY one. I’m making my own next time.
that is some pretty fine art i must say. this is definitely a project that my boys and girls would really get into.
DIY projects are the best! I love reading about different ways to create artwork in your own home. Thank you for sharing!
I am never non artistic, but I feel like this is something I can manage
I love making my own decor at home especially when it comes to art like this! It’s so easy to make as well thanks to the stencils. It’s definitely something that I’d enjoy making!
I have been wanting to make some art for my home. Thanks for sharing this cool how to post.
That came out really nice. I really like it. I would like to try some DIY abstract art.
The colors, the design, everything just looks so great in this art! I just love it!
