There has been a stack of canvases in my craft area just waiting for me to do something with them. I walk by them every single day and think “I need to do something with these”. But what? Then it hit me! I could put two together and make a double-sided canvas and use it for two holidays!
I love double-sided or reversible decor pieces. Like this dual holiday pillow and this framed farmhouse style sign. Not only are they pretty AND functional; they take up less storage room when not in use and that is huge if you’re downsizing or dialing back on “all the stuff” like me.
How to Make a Doubled-Sided Canvas
I started out by Chalking a Fall design on one of the canvases. I’ve used the Fresh Pumpkins transfer before on a white background and loved how it turned out. But this time I wanted a black background. I am thrilled with how it looks.
The design details on this transfer are unbelievable.
You could never get this kind of detail with a regular stencil. I used three colors on these pumpkins: Bumble Bee, Orange Peel, and Fawn.
I chose to use the “A Child is Born” transfer for the Christmas side of the canvas. I used a white canvas for this side and only one Chalk Paste Color: Black. The color “Storm” Chalk Paste would also look very pretty against the white background.
This is a much simpler design but also very beautiful.
Once the designs were finished and dried, I hot glued the canvases together, back to back and then added a coordinating ribbon around the edge and secured it with more hot glue.

Love this DIY project! This is will definitely help me lessen the ‘stuff’ I have, too! 😉
Thanks for sharing!

I always wanted to learn how to do this! Wow, can’t believe it!
Love this idea! Is your double canvas hung? I am trying to figure out if you need a wire or ribbon between the two canvases to act like a hook to hang. Thank you.
I recently tried making a double-sided canvas, and it turned out to be such a fun project! The process is easier than it sounds—just make sure you have a sturdy frame and some quality canvas material. I love the idea of having two different designs on one canvas, especially for smaller spaces. If you need a place to get quality canvases, I highly recommend checking out Great Big Canvas . They have a wide variety of options, and their canvases are always great for any DIY project. It’s so cool to create something unique that’s also functional!
Love this idea, double-sided decor is such a clever way to maximize space and seasonal creativity! The final look is beautiful, but I also really appreciate how you paid attention to minor aspects like color choices and seam finishing with ribbon. Those small details make a big difference in the overall polish. Thanks for the inspiration!
so impressive
Oh yes! The side-view design of soflo wheelie life makes every wheelie so satisfying to watch. You can clearly see the bike’s tilt, the obstacles in front of you, and the smooth animations, which all help you focus on getting better and better!
