Swimming Seahorses

The girls and I have been up to quite a bit of crafting as of late. I found a lovely butterfly collage through Pinterest and decided to do an underwater version of it.

We started with 8x10 canvas panels and metallic paint.



Along with the canvas, the girls also used some basic water color paints on a plain piece of paper. Jasmine was enthusiastic about the directions to cover the entire page, but Evie needed much more coaxing to paint more than a couple of dabs fo color.



After the blue background dried, we added seaweed with the metallic green paint.



I used a seahorse punch to punch shapes out of the water color paper, and we affixed those to the canvas with some sticky mounting tabs to give them a bit of dimension.



Ta-da!



We will eventually add some fish to this, but for now, the girls are happy with their seahorses.
