wall art

So after yesterdays post with a sneak peek I wanted to share the completed project with you.

As you can see Tyler's choice of yellow paint on his canvas proved not to be successful. Today we went back to Michael's and he picked blue and orange. The top part of the play room's walls are blue and I wanted to make sure that the blue would work and actually show up on the blue wall, so we bought a back up color of orange (just in case). Thankfully we didn't need the orange because it really wouldn't have matched his brother's redish color that he chose.

Here is Tyler doing a repaint of his canvas. Tyler and I were so excited to see that the yellow actually showed through when we put his prints on it. So a different spin on this project would be to paint one color and then another on top so you don't have just white showing through.

The boys are asleep and I just finished their paintings by adding their names. I will have dh hang them on the wall for me this weekend. Then maybe another picture will come. :0) I want to add one more thing and that is the date on the back with a Sharpie.

I used my Cricut "All Mixed Up" font and cut out their names at 2 1/2".
