Happy Sunday everyone! How many of you know and/of heard of the saying “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish?”
Are you stumped? Well – it’s the title of a Dr Seuss classic and one of my favorite childhood books. It’s also what inspired today’s Handprint Fish Keepsake craft post!
In honor of Dr Seuss’ birthday coming up on March 2nd – Lil Man got to help me in the making of this fish themed canvas. It’s almost a replicable of the “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” {affiliate link} book cover. With a few simple steps & supplies – you can make one too! Happy crafting, my friends!!!
Supplies:
* Large White Canvas
* Craft Paint – Light Blue, Red, Yellow, Dark Blue, Green, Orange, White, Black
* Paint Brushes
* Baby Wipes
* Scrapbook Stickers
* Cute kid with hands
Directions:
* First paint your canvas a light shade of blue. {or google an image of the Dr Seuss book cover and go with the original book colors}
* Next I painted Lil Man’s hands in each color and had him press them on the canvas for our “fish.” The first fish was yellow; then two green; followed with a red fish and ending with a blue one.
* Once you got the fish in place, let it dry completely.
* To finish your Handprint Fish Keepsake Canvas – add some fish features to the handprints {lips & eyes} and stick your scrapbook stickers on. If you want some reinforcement for the stickers – add a layer of Mod Podge over the stickers so they won’t go anywhere.
