DIY Love canvas

If you need any gift ideas here's one! I wish I could have posted this before Mother's Day but I didn't want to give away my surprise for my mom and mother-in-law (They both read the blog!)

supplies:
     ~ small canvas, we chose black
     ~ pointed paint brush like this one
     ~oil based paint
     ~ a happy baby and a helper:)
you can find all of this at any craft store, well besides the baby and helper!

I fee handed the "L" and then had my husband hold Bentley while I lathered up his hand and placed it on the canvas. Make sure to press the whole hand down and lift straight up. Wash the hand and move on to baby's feet. I would suggest doing one at a time and washing in between. lastly free hand the "E". If you are uncomfortable with free handing it you can always write it in pencil first.

And Viola!
