Mini Painted Canvas Ornament Tutorial

Supplies: 

• mini canvases 3" x 4" (I found these in packs of 10 at JoAnn's)
• 1/8" painters masking tape
• tiny eye screws / hooks
• acrylic paints in assorted colors
• paint brushes

The first step is to mask off a pattern of your choosing. Everywhere you put the tape, will end up white:

Then paint! You can paint each section a color or some random design:

Let the paint dry. 

Remove the painter's tape.

And voila!

When they are dry, screw in the eye hook so you can hang it on your tree. Add a thin satin ribbon, too, if you like. Here are some of the boys having fun working on theirs:

Both the girls and boys were excited to make a painted canvas creation! Yay! A treasured Christmas keepsake!
