Oh my – did we have so much fun making these! Even my two year old really got into this craft. I got this idea from Pinterest {yes, I’m addicted} and it turned out really well.
*Supplies Needed*
white paper {we used cardstock}
watercolors
masking tape
bowl of water {to dip paintbrush in}
paper towels or newspaper to put under the white piece of paper
*Instructions*
1. Place your paper towels or newspaper down on a flat surface {we used our kitchen bar}
2. Put the white paper on top.
3. Using masking tape, make your initials {or any word}.
4. Use your watercolors to paint the entire white paper.
5. Let dry for a couple of hours and remove the tape.
*We are going to frame these and put them on our gallery wall*
I did this last year with our Wed night Bible study and they loved it, I just hated tearing off the tape ( I ripped one =0( So a few weeks ago I tried it again with a new strategy…….use clear contact paper instead of the tape =-0 the paint doesn’t adhere to it and there is no accidental rips in the paper 😉 and of course we designed a cross instead of the initial, however I must say I like the initials =0)
I love these….I bet they will be beautiful framed. Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiring us!
Wow! That looks super easy and super fun!
These look great and the kids looked like they had fun making them.
These are adorable. Thanks for posting! 🙂
