A year ago this was a perfect uncle and aunt gift idea when they were moving away. It was small, easy to pack, and a great keepsake memory from their nieces. I can still see the pride in their eyes once they handed their gifts.

Let’s Make this Geometric Painting on Canvas
Material needed:
- Painting canvas in the desired size
- Nail striping tape – or any sticky tape you have
- Watercolors
- Glliter – optional
How to:
- Just make any shapes you desire with tape. We made triangles.
- You can make squares if you prefer
- Kids can color it and design it as they wish.
- Take the tape off right away, while the paint is still wet. If you wait, and it dries out, you may crack the paint
Their uncle and aunt were thrilled with their gift idea. This is great kids’ project for a gift on a budget.
