Fall/Thanksgiving Day Craft for the Whole Family!

Great fun for the kids!! Even the hubby can join in, especially if you have one that is a wonderful colorist!

ALL YOU NEED:

Canvas Board

Thin Wood Palets (for the side decor)

Acrylic Paint

Sponge

Paintbrush

Gold Metallic Pen (if you like)

Fabric leaves/acorn

Twine

And the best tool...YOUR KIDS FINGERS!

 1. Mix your colors for the backdrop of your canvas!2. Using the sponge, pat the sponge in the paint then the board, smearing a little to blend is perfect!

3. Using the paintbrush, paint the trunk of the tree. Now the children's part: Finger painting! Let your kids choose the colors (we stuck with autumn colors) and let them have at it! Make sure you put something under the work so paint doesn't get everywhere!

For the side art, you can do the same thing, paint the background.

Using a pencil, or stencils, in my case a pencil...carefully draw out what you want yours to say! 

If using stencils, great, color it all in at once using marker or paint! After, you can outline in the gold pen!

I used a hot glue gun to glue on the fabric leaves and acorns in the corner. And then made a bow out of the twine and glued it as well.

Now to hang all of these beautiful creations, I simply cut some twine and glue gunned it on the back to keep the rustic look going! 

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!
