tape/paint craft.

oh come on - two of the most fun things ever! lol

after chatting with a friend on friday about "ugh what craft should i do today" woes, she lent me this idea :)

All you need is paint, painter's tape, and a canvas :)

(p.s. i just got TWO 16x20 blank canvases from hobby lobby for $7.99 THEN 40% off. so check them out!!)

first, you put the tape down. curved letters are hard. lol i just asked them what they wanted. next time i could come up with something way cooler, i bet haha


get your paints ready :) i did a diff brush for every color bc i hate washing them in between.


i helped them paint over the letters first. then sent them on their way. the hardest part is reminding them that they have to cover the all of the white LOL not just the blue tape ;)




peel tape off! ta-da!

handprint craft.

today we went to the park (pics from that later) and then came home to do a fun craft!

i figured since it is the start to a new school year, id do a "keepsake" craft. and kids love paint so... ;)

the only thing not pictured or listed is FABRIC GLUE! :) thats how everything is secured.



easy peasy:

paint hands, stamp them onto the canvas.

paint the wood letters - let dry.

measure out fun ribbon, attach with fabric glue.

add buttons to corners.

secure the letter on.

let all dry :)

and dont forget to date it on the back!!

we may add to these later, but we'll see - live and learn and get more creative next time! but for now, i love them!
