DIY: FROM PHOTO TO MASTERPIECE

photo to masterpiecephoto to masterpiecephoto to masterpiecephoto to masterpiecephoto to masterpiecephoto to masterpiece
In my opinion, the best kind of art are the kinds my kids make. There is just something so raw and natural about kid art that makes it so beautiful. This particular project was an easy one and can easily be created with any photograph. Sure this one was of the Eiffel Tower, which is already beautiful, but I think adding some kid art on top gives it an extra punch and makes it look less like a print I bought at some random shop. Wouldn't you agree? I have a few more instant art projects that can help fill your summer and your walls. Stay tuned. 

Watercolors and colored tape were purchased from the Target Kid Made Modern line. You better stock up while supplies last!

    My daughter (3) walked past the computer while I was looking at this and said "Oh Mommy that's a pretty castle."

    Those paintings are so lovely! Your kiddos are so crafty!

    ALSO, the color run in SF just opened up more registration spots and you've inspired me to register! I can't wait now!
