Helpful tips and tricks for making a "busted canvas":

1.You can find 8x10 canvases at the dollar store so don't worry about busting up your good canvases! You could also recycle any old canvases or paintings you don't want anymore for this project.

2. Napkins are much thinner than scrapbook paper. If you are worried about cutting through the canvas using a fun napkin pattern is much easier than cutting through multiple layers of cardstock. If you do use napkins though make sure you separate the plys!

3. I mentioned this in the video, but don't start cutting your canvas in the center. Start your cuts over top of the focal point of your design...this makes the project more dynamic.

4. Try cutting the triangle sections all different sides and lengths. Doing this and also gluing them down in all different directions gives the project a more "busted" look.

5. Keep it simple. You can add many different decorations, but sometimes less is more!
