DIY: How to create the Love is Fragile Artwork at home

Hi all,

Excited to bring you a brand new post today and we’re talking about one of the most requested tutorials and of course, I’m talking about the Life is Fragile artwork that is a homemade DIY replica of a famous artwork by Mr. Brainwash. So let’s dive in on what you’ll need and a step by step of what you need to do to re-create this at home!

Love is Fragile Tutorial

So the items you’ll need to create the Love is Fragile artwork at home are a canvas - I used a 36x36 but you could in theory use whichever size you need. I’ve linked a few options below for you to consider. Then, you’ll need the Fragile stickers, easily available on Amazon and lastly a can of black Spray Paint.

Step 1 - Layout the Fragile stickers all over the canvas. You need them to cover the entire canvas, and they shouldn’t be aligned in any way - make it random but in a way where every part of the canvas is covered. I suggest putting the canvas down and going back a few feet to take a look at it from far away.

Step 2: With the spray paint, spray the “I Love You” message or some do “I <3 You” with the heart instead. That is up to you and what you want to create. If you want to add a drip effect to it, let it dry standing up so some of the paint drips down a bit. I do recommend keeping an eye on it to ensure you get the drip effect uo want - some might want more of a drip, others just a little bit.

That’s it! It’s rather simple but take your time to do it right and you’ll be very happy with your own creation! Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist, this is something you can tackle easy!

Let me know in the comments below if you plan on tackling it!
