Total steal.  I knew I could not pass up such a great deal, so I came home 4 canvases richer.  Since I didn&#8217;t really have a plan for them, they sadly got stashed away in a closet, that is, until today.  When Pinky came home from school, I was trying to think of something fun for us to do together and remembered the lonely little buggers sitting in the closet.  So I pulled them out, grabbed some paint and we got to work creating our own masterpieces. And it was really easy! Here&#8217;s what you do&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>First, grab a four year old (or just their mentality) and clear out a space on your table to get to work.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-2.jpg' title='pinky-canvas-2.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-2.jpg' alt='pinky-canvas-2.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, take some painters\/masking tape and radomly slap it on making sure to smooth it down.  <\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-4.jpg' title='pinky-canvas-4.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-4.jpg' alt='pinky-canvas-4.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, paint the each canvas with the color of your choice. (I sprayed them with clear paint to ensure the color would not bleed through before this step.) Pinky chose a bright pink-ish color. Surprise. Surprise.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-3.jpg' title='pinky-canvas-3.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-3.jpg' alt='pinky-canvas-3.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When the paint has dried, remove the tape and hang your beautiful artwork! <\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-1.jpg' title='pinky-canvas-1.jpg'><img src='http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pinky-canvas-1.jpg' alt='pinky-canvas-1.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several months ago I found a few pre-stretched art canvases at a sale for $1.
