Hand Print Canvases

One of the projects from our summer list is to make hand print canvases.

They turned out wonderfully.

I love them.

The idea was borrowed from Becky Higgin's blog. She's pretty amazing.

I wanted to the boys to do as much as they could in the painting process.

They did great.

Both worked on painting the canvas a solid color and all was going smoothly.

Until Brett ate some of the paint.

This caused him to throw up, leaving a stinky blue mess behind.

We also had friends over for this project.

 Thank you for not running from the puke.

She's a mom too and knows all about puking but still, thank you! 

I finished painting the background for them. After they dried we put the hand prints on.

Super cute! I love them!

Did I mention, super cute?

They're on display in our living room. They make me smile.

Here's what we used:

6"x6" canvases from Micheal's

acrylic paint
