Come join the action and create a backyard masterpiece with host Lisa Bleyaert! You won’t need a wall for this mural…Just a sheet and some paint will get you started!
1 sheet
yellow, red and blue paint
paintbrushes
1 ketchup bottle
1 mustard bottle
1 water bottle
REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.
- Start by soaking an old sheet in water and then hanging it on a clothesline or draping it over a fence.
- Get out various tempera paints and applicators -- sponges, paintbrushes, squirt bottles -- and go at it, creating pictures, tic-tac-toe grids, or just colorful designs. You can also mute and mix colors with a water-filled spray bottle.
- Whenever you don’t like what you see, simply hose down the canvas and start over. For art on a smaller scale, try the same techniques with a pillowcase or an old T-shirt.
