FD gift #2 - Where Life Begins

Here is another FD gift the kids and I made for hubs! I tried to take a ton of pictures in hopes that it would be like a mini tutorial. So, let me know what you think!

Supplies Needed:

1 8x10 Canvas

1Can of Rust-Oleum Spray Paint (any color will do but I used Ultra 2x Gloss Purple)

Scrapbook paper

Mod Podge Glue

Foam Paint Brush

Pencil

Sharpies

As many little Hands as you have

My blank canvas! Just waiting patiently

to be be prettied up with that AWESOME

spray paint!

Take that canvas outside and spray away. Start with the

edges/sides first and then do the main part of the canvas.

Ooooh, la, la. Pretty in Purple!!

Now go get all of those hands that I said you would need.

Trace around 1 from each kid on regular paper and cut out

like this.

You could skip this step if you do not have messy kids.

I have SUPER sticky, messy, yucky kids so I did not

want to ruin the scrapbook paper.

Want to know how I made the shape for the heart...

SUPER CUTE! But I actually used daddy's hands.

Trace your hands on to your scrapbook paper. And

cut them out again...

Like this!

Now get your Mod Podge and foam brush.

"Paint" the wrong side first and arrange how

you want them to look. I did this...

Then I googled "family vinyl" (I do not have one of

those fancy cutting machines) and found this little saying,

"Family, where life begins."

I used a silver Sharpie to write directly on to the

canvas and a black one to write on the heart.

AND

TAAAA-DAAAAAAAA!

The "family" could have been straighter but I am

a lefty and that is difficult! Eeeek!

How did I do???

Alright, my HOPPY friends I will be back later with my HOO Are you Post (I hope)! Have a terrific Tuesday!!!!

~Hugs~

P.S. I am still waiting! Some one send me some patience please!!!!
