Here is the sign I found for $5 on clearance at Walmart. I just couldn't leave it there at that price and it was just in time for Thanksgiving!

Materials needed for lighting up your canvas

  • Canvas Art of your choice
  • LED light strand
  • Punch

Instructions for your ED Lighted Canvas Art

Here is the sign I found for $5 on clearance at Walmart. I just couldn’t leave it there at that price and it was just in time for Thanksgiving!

2.  Poke holes in your canvas art

1. measure out where you want the light strand to go on your artwork.

I started by stretching the lights out around the top of the picture so I would know where I would want the holes to be.

2. Poke holes in your canvas art

I then used a punch to poke the holes through the canvas where the lights would come through.

3.  Push the LED lights into the holes.

3. Push the LED lights into the holes.

I then pushed the lights through the holes on the backside of the art. I used a strand of 10 LED lights from Dollar Tree and you could get a strand that had more lights. This piece also had a piece of wood in the middle of the back so be careful to work around that.

I taped the battery pack in place with some gaffers tape. You could alternatively use hot glue to hold it into place.

      Hi Victoria, Oh no, that’s terrible. I’m so sorry to hear that. I was lucky and did get mine out okay. Maybe take them back to the store and tell them and they’ll let you trade them out?
