Canvas line art

76 Comment

Great fun for kids and you can add a special touch to your home or your child’s painting. And they make great gifts for family.
My daughter has a lot of fun painting these

Material

Canvas any size
Masking tape
Acrylic paint or kids paints
Scissors
String or fishing line
Staple gun
Paint brushes.

Method

Cut masking tape into strips don't have to be straight can be wavy, zigzagged
Place onto canvas any way you like. Press and smooth down and make sure you get the sides and fold the left over masking tape at the back so you can pull off later
Once you have you desired pattern your ready to paint. Any colour you would like.
Once you have finished painting let the paint dry will only take about half hour to an hour.
Once paint is dry slowly peel away the masking tape. Leaving white line all through your painting.
Turn the canvas over and cut a piece of string or fishing line to the length of your canvas and staple the string to the wood and your done ready to hang.

I have done a few for my neighbour. And I pick up the canvas from the reject shop. I used get the packs for $8 or $12 but you get like 4 different sizes. My daughter has a ball painting them. And you can even try putting names and saying in them

I always see cheap canvas boards at my local $2 store and now have lots of great ideas on how to use them!
