Art from the Heart

I have an inexpensive, art from the heart project that will make you and your kids smile today...fingerpainting! If your walls are too bare or you like to give personalized gifts, this may be the answer. I purchased a canvas at a thrift store for $1 and painted over it with white spray paint to cover the image. After drying, simply use painters tape to make an image or word that you want to standout on your canvas. Next, get the kids and finger paint and let them colorfully conquer the canvas. When they are finished, slowly peel up tape and let the masterpiece dry. If you can find an inexpensive ornate frame at a thrift store it would enhance the beauty even more. Use any color scheme or canvas size; the possibilities are endless! With Mother's Day around the corner, maybe give this a try for the grandmothers in your life?
