Ohio State Handprint Buckeye Canvas For Kids To Make On Game Day!

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
