DIY Coloring Book Canvas

Display a hand-painted work of art with this clever DIY Coloring Book Canvas trick!


DIY Coloring Book Canvas

For me, painting is be a fun and relaxing hobby. However, I have a lot of friends who disagree because they say that they're not "artsy-fartsy". I was trying to think of how to help my artistically-challenged friends (and even kids) to feel confident about creating art, and the idea of a coloring book on canvas came to mind. This project was made using a simple canvas panel and a custom stencil (thanks to my Ikonart kit). I think it is such a fantastic way to create your own art, or you could transfer the design to multiple canvases that kids of ALL ages can paint at parties. I've been so excited to share this project with you, and hope you feel inspired to try it out for yourself.

New to making reusable stencils? Here's how to Get Started with Ikonart!

Springtime Sugar Cookie Bars

Make springtime gatherings extra sweet with these easy Sugar Cookie Bars!


Springtime Sugar Cookie Bars

Sugar cookies are a must-have at Easter parties, however, sometimes I just don't have the time or the energy for all of the chilling, rolling, cutting, and hand-decorating. Packed with all of the deliciousness of sugar cookies and taking minimal effort, these Springtime Sugar Cookie Bars are the perfect shortcut dessert for any occasion (even for a rainy afternoon). Not only are they simple enough to make that the kids can help, but the dough can be frozen ahead of time if you are in a time crunch!
