I picked up the paint and 8x10 canvasses which were both on sale (lucky me) as well as gold & silver glitter. I still can't believe I did that. I like sparkly things but glitter just seems to get all over everything. Anyway, I got home and Bella was super excited to start this project. Chris decided to join the fun as well. We taped 7 straws together to make the fireworks shape and then we had a practice run on paper plates.
Now for the real thing...
I helped Bella. She was afraid she would get too much paint or not enough, so I dipped and she told me where to place it on her canvass, then she pressed the straws down to make sure the paint stayed on good.
After the blue and red paint was in place, we added the glitter. Bella choose to add both silver and gold while Chris stuck with just silver. I love how both of them turned out.
Christopher's creation....
Miss Bella's artwork...
And here are my two monkeys showing off their art....
I loved this little project that took about 10-15 minutes tops and now we have something to decorate with every year. I have one displayed on the dining table and one on a shelf. Perfect. I should have taken pictures of that huh. Oh well.
Saturday evening we went to Lake Jackson to watch fireworks. I snapped this picture of my monkeys waiting for the show...
I didn't get any pics of the fireworks because I was too busy oohing and awwing with Bella. It was a fun night. Hope ya'll had a great 4th of July.
