Then the next day, we carefully peeled back the vinyl! The canvases were finally done! We hauled the girls up to the bathtub, and let these priceless masterpieces dry overnight since they were pretty thick and globby. They were surprisingly thoughtful about it! (ish) You could see the little wheels in their head turning, deciding what color to paint where. I can’t find the exact paints that I used, but they were basic finger paints… similar to this stuff. We outfitted the girls in massive bibs (made by my friend Leah!) and set ‘em loose! At first they looked at me like… you want me to do WHA?
That way if there was any paint seepage… it would be white and blend right in with the canvas. (you could use ANY saying, or just a design with no words)Īfter applying the vinyl to the canvases, I spray painted it with white paint to ‘seal’ down the vinyl. I bought two blank canvases, and had my friend Dana cut me some vinyl (her Etsy shop is here) with this little saying on it. This ended up being a Mother’s Day craft (for the grandma’s), but it could be for ANYTHING… so I thought it was still worth sharing! Since they’re always seeing me paint something or other, I thought whipping out some finger paint with paint brushes could be fun. Sure, they’re not even two yet, but this is such a crucial time in their development to learn about textures and color and get real dirty. I haven’t been very good with thinking of crafts for the sisters to participate in.
