As you know, I am a lover of handmade gifts. And by having the only grandchild in my family, I am constantly looking for ways to create handmade gifts for my parents. Because grandparents LOVE that stuff! I came across this handmade canvas painting and just HAD to make it! SO get your little ones(s) ready and create something that anyone will love to recieve as a present :)
Supplies :
Canvas: I bought mine at walmart, 3 for $4.99 size 8x11. Because my mom likes to frame my sons artwork, I bought canvas panels. Although ANY canvas will work for this project!
Scotch Tape or Washi Tape : I used leftover washi tape but you can use plain ol scotch tape!
Crayola WAshable Finger Paints : These are the best and most washable paints i have found. And they dry really quick too. Added bonus!
Your kiddo (s)! My son was more than happy to get down and dirty with finger paints!
Step One :
Take your scotch tape and tape off the word LOVE ( or any word you want that will fit on your canvas) onto the canvas. Although i didnt take a picture of it in the beginning, I did take a photo of what it loked like after it had been painted. Youcan easily see how I taped off the word LOVE.
Step Two:
LET YOUR KIDS GO WILD!!!! My son actually used his feet most of the time to paint this! He had such a blast doing it! Make sure there is a towel underneath though!!!
Step Three :
Let your painting dry. Because it was a hot day, I put my painting outside for about 30 min. Then peeled off the tape and let it dry for another 30 min.
It will look like this when you start to peel off the tape.
Step Four : Your done!!!!!!!! Now take a step back and admire your DIY art!!!! This is sure to be as much of a hit with your family as it was with mine! Have fun!!!!
