do-it-yourself nursery art

There is some really great nursery art out there, but since I was on a budget, I decided to make my own. I bought 3 12x12 inch canvases from Lee's Art Shop (on special buy 2 get one free!) and painted some very simple shapes.



Amateurish, yes, but kind of cute too. After painting the canvas with a glossy white, I used the paint can to trace the polka dot birds, and traced enlarged numbers that I printed from the computer. After a lot of paint mixing and a few little details later, I had my counting art.

I like painting on canvas, since you can just hang it straight on the wall, no frame required.


No baby yet ... we are crossing our fingers that he makes his appearance sometime this week. :)
