Hi friends! These cute mini canvasses take about 10 minutes to paint each and can be a fun, inexpensive family or classroom activity!
I created a free printable template sized for 3″x3″ canvases if you want an easy way to reproduce these. I used graphite paper to transfer my design. Free free to use the pattern on watercolor paper if you prefer. Watch the video to see how to paint them!
These would be cute attached to gifts, sitting on a mantle or windowsill, as place cards on the dinner table, hung from a tree or even used as magnets. How would use display them?
- Mini canvas and easel bulk pack
- Graphite paper
- Acrylic paint & Brushes
- Disposable palette paper (or freezer paper)
- water buckets and paper towels
Tips for creating this project in a group!
- Give each person a place to work. Set out a square of newspaper, a palette (palette paper, waxed paper or freezer paper are a great option) and a water bucket, paper towel and a few brushes. *You can even have the designs transferred onto the canvases before they begin!
- Paint the backgrounds first.
- Remind new painters to wipe extra water off their brush after rinsing so they don’t dilute the acrylic paint.
- Tell new painters that they can practise their brush strokes on the newspaper.
- When you are done you can fold-up the newspaper, paper towel and palette paper into neat packet for disposal. *A note about recycling: Many recycle centers will not take newspaper with paint on it but these paper products will biodegrade in the landfill and I believe use fewer resources than washing out palettes and paint mats. You don’t want excess paint down the drain. This is my opinion, you can do what it right for you:)
I hope you enjoyed this project and I would love it if you painted it with friends! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
