HOW TO CREATE VIBRANT CANVAS ART USING THIS SIMPLE PAINT POURING KIT

SUPPLIES:

• American Crafts Color Pour Paint Starter Kit
• plastic cups

HOW TO CREATE PAINT POURING CANVAS ART:

Lay down the plastic dropcloth (included) and put on gloves (included). Place four cups on the dropcloth and place the canvas on top. This will allow the paint to drip down the sides of the canvas and also allow the canvas to have a raised platform for drying.

Select your desired colors and place each color into a separate cup.

 Add three to four drops of Cell Magic to each color and stir lightly with a stick (included).

Starting with metallic or lightest color, pour the paint into one of the other cups. DO NOT STIR PAINT. Note: I took the gloves off to get a better grip on the cup.

 Pour the paint on to the canvas and tilt the canvas to distribute the paint.

Be sure to let the paint drip over the sides of the canvas to cover, then wipe away any excess paint from the bottom and leave to dry overnight.

This fun project is great for anyone who wants to try a new technique but doesn’t want to buy a bunch of product. Everything you need is right in the box and you can customize your project for any theme or décor. Add an embellishment to customize it even more!
