Have you ever been laying in bed late at night, when the perfect craft idea comes to mind?
Well – that was me last night.
I seriously could not stop thinking about this handprint canvas idea I had in my head. I don’t even know why it popped up but I just had to do it immediately when Lil Man and I got up this morning.
Although college football season is over at the moment – today I’m sharing this Handprint Ohio State Buckeye Canvas idea with you all.
My husband is HUGE fan so I can’t wait to surprise him with this when he gets home tonight. Just imagine him screaming “Go Bucks!” as he holds it up in all it’s glory {sounds cheesy right?}
So if you have a huge fan like I do in my home – why not surprise them with this canvas gift idea today? It’s super simple, inexpensive and pretty fast to put together too. PLUS handprint artwork is simply the best because it’s capturing those little hands in time.
So grab your paint and get to work on this super easy Handprint Ohio State Buckeye Canvas! Go Bucks!!! #gluedtomycrafts
Handprint Ohio State Canvas Supplies:
* Large Blank Canvas
* Gray/Green/Red/White/Tan Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate
* Baby Wipes
optional – large scrapbook stickers
Directions:
Between each step – be sure to let the paint dry completely so colors don’t bleed
* First paint your canvas completely gray.
* Once dry, paint the “O” in red in the center of the canvas.
* Next outline the red “O” with white paint.
* Grab the green paint and paint your child’s hand completely green. Have them press their hand in the bottom right corner of the “O” logo.
* Now grab the tan paint and paint three “buckeyes” on the green handprint.
* To finish off the Handprint Ohio State Buckeye Canvas – add your scrapbook stickers to say “Go Bucks!” or your favorite phrase. Don’t forget to add your child’s name and age on the back!
