As I've mentioned, we're preparing for a move and trying to get some projects done to make things easy, fun, and fashionable when we get there. My daughter, Anna, wants her room to be green and white, with a "vine" theme. She loves nature, and all things leafy. We had a little bit of spray paint leftover from her lamp, fan, and trash can renovations, so we decided to make some coordinating canvases to hang on her wall.
The process for creating these gorgeous pieces was incredibly simple, kid-friendly, and took less than 5 minutes each. I had Anna pick up a few small branches that had fallen from a tree in our yard and we laid them out over the canvas. I had her spraypaint right over the top of the branch and when she was content with the coverage we lifted the branch to reveal the negative. I love how it has such dimension and looks so natural and pretty!!
We made two different ones so that she could have some coordinating artwork for her walls. I love the designer look, and she loves that they were her own creation. I'd say it's a win-win.
What items can you think of that would make great negatives to spray paint over on canvas??
