Yesterday the little girls and I worked on making custom curtains for Lexi's room. This in turn opened the door for artwork. The girls had a great time and it was really easy, fun and not too messy!
If you need kid created custom curtains, you can see my guide for that... here. You use the same supplies, just trade out the canvas for curtains!
So, here is what we did...
We started with 3 shades of pink, plus glitter paint that we added to each of the colors. I like using 3 shades of the same color for projects like this... when they end of mixing colors, which they will, you don't end up with sludge, you end up with pretty variations of the same color!
Plus you need plastic bottles of different sizes.
Pour some paint on a paper plate. This makes clean up soo much easier!
Then take a bottle and press it into the paint and stamp it onto the canvas.
Just for clarification, Kylie is using a mounted canvas and Lexi is using a canvas panel. Use the mounted canvas as it has natural give. The panel was harder to make an impression on!
We used a cork to make the centers and polka dots.
And of course, a paintbrush. Cause as Kylie explained, it's not painting unless you have a paintbrush!
Kylie's masterpiece!
After Lexi finished her curtains, she completed her painting as well.
I have to say, I love two projects completed with one set of supplies and very little cleanup!
Here is the guide for the curtains should you need it!
