The fabulous people at Plaid sent me a the most amazing box of paint goodies from the Martha Stewart craft line. Wouldn’t you be excited if this showed up on your doorstep?!
I made a few projects but I LOVED this one. A canvas to put on my fireplace.
Want to make it too?
What you need:
Martha Stewart Paints (colors used: Pool, Couscous, and Wedding Cake)
Hot Glue Gun
Burlap
Scrapbook Paper
Ribbon
Canvas
‘Snow’ Bunting
The how-to:
1. Using the daubers, place dots all over the canvas (I mixed the yellow & blue with the white to get varying shades of each). Let dry.
My 5 year old daughter helped me with this step :)
2. Using the small snowflake stencil, paint snowflakes onto the bigger dots.
3. The colors were a bit too vivid for me, so I covered the entire canvas in a 10:1 mixture of glitter finish and ‘wedding cake’ paint.
4. Next, I mod-podged scrapbook paper onto the bottom {In hind-sight I would have NOT painted that portion. I had to sand off the paint to make sure the scrapbook paper went on smoothly}.
5. Hot glue burlap, ribbon, and bunting ‘SNOW’ letters as shown.
So, what do you think? Cute, eh?
