PAIR YOUR FOOTBALL CANVAS WITH —> Popsicle Stick Mini Football Goal
Craft Supplies:
- Large Blank Canvas – any size or shape you like!
- Washable Craft Paint {brown and green}
- Small Paper Plate
- Foam Paint Brushes
- Baby Wipes
- Scrapbook Stickers
- Mod Podge
Directions:
- Squirt your various shades of craft paint on a paper plate.
- Next paint both of your child’s hands with the brown paint and press them down on the canvas {somewhat apart}
- Use baby wipes to clean off excess paint from hands.
- Next up – paint straight lines down, coming from the two handprints, to give the look of the goal post.
- Now paint on some grass on the bottom of the canvas, as well as a football flying through the air/in between the two handprints.
- If desired, paint on other embellishments you see fit. We did a simple dot pattern around the edge for some added flair.
- To finish off the Handprint Football Goal Keepsake – add some scrapbook stickers {touchdown 2015} to your canvas. Paint on some mod podge on top, to seal it all in. Then set it aside to let it all dry completely, before displaying proudly!
