You can even decorate the corners of the canvas by painting on them, or with mini flowers or diamantes! These canvases can also be hung up in your guests&#8217; homes if you attach a string to the back of each canvas instead of a piece of magnet. Easy-to-make, versatile and pocket-friendly, these personalised canvases are just the perfect wedding DIY for a busy bride-to-be. And, since these are pocket-sized, they&#8217;ll fit perfectly into your guests&#8217;s pockets or clutches!
