We have had tremendous weather here in south Georgia. A heat wave sent us all indoors and seeking air conditioned events and poolside parties. It was a scorcher with temps hitting 110* leaving you exhausted at the thought of even walking to the mailbox and back.
In attempt to have some indoor fun, a friend of mine hinted around about wanting to play in the paint and try to make a little hand printed owl canvas that she had seen posted online. I was up for the challenge. I had a blank canvas and paint in my stash so I thought I'd give it a try. My daughters share a room that it themed in owl decor. You Target shoppers have seen the line of bedding in the kids section, I'm sure. So, I thought if the painting did turn out (fingers crossed), it would be a great piece to add to their owl themed room.
This picture shows a copy of the original picture that my friend had seen.
MATERIALS:
canvas 8x10 or larger
acrylic paint
paint pen
ribbon
I have outlined the painting steps out in the picture below. Pretty simple and easy to do. Suggestion: measure your child's hand on the canvas before you start to paint. I used an 8x10 canvas and my four year olds hand print barely fit within the painted lines.
And the final product. It looks great in the girls room!
