In case you missed it.....

I am reposting my craft project I did over at 733!

Today I am making  cookie cutter canvas art
It's super easy...and super fun. and It's something that even kids can do! (if you trust them with paint)

Let's start
Some canvas (old or new)

Paint your base cover

Pick a cookie cutter (I might have a slight cookie cutter fetish.)


You'll need to pour plenty of paint on a flat surface (I use old cool whip lids)

You need to press your cookie cutter firmly and make sure each side gets even paint...

Then press firmly onto the canvas (or you really could use a piece of wood!)

and repeat. over and over and over. Make sure you get fresh paint each time.

and since this is a pair of pictures...The other one is a star:


+

This one splattered a bit...which I kinda liked!!!

I actually hot glued it right to the wall (I knew I would find a use for my glue gun)
I just put a tiny dob of glue...let it cool for a few seconds and then stick it on.
Usually when I want to rearrange...it pops right off!


and I made one for my daughters room ( a flower of course...although they have the alphabet cookie cutters and I thought it would be cute to do one with your intial)

added some embellishments to make it pretty....




and since we have both sugar and spice parties and frogs and snail parties here at 733...I thought I had better do a boy one

CHOO CHOOO
