Description

This is a fun project and once you make it, you can use it for every Fourth of July to come!

Instructions

1. 

   Step 1: Paint Gesso all over the Canvas

2. 

   Step 2: Sketch Out a "Costume" on your canvas. I had my little girl hold it up to her so I could determine where to draw the clothing and where her hands would go.

3. 

   Step 3: Trace over the lines with the Sharpie

4. 

   Step 4: Add Detail. I used a ruler to help me get my lines straight. I also traced around the bottom of a paint bottle to make circles.

5. 

   Step 5: Paint your project. The masking tape can help keep the lines straight. It won't damage any areas you've already painted.

6. 

   Step 6: The paint dries pretty quickly so you can work on different sections and the same time. Go over your lines again with the Sharpie.

7. 

   Step 8: Take Some cute pictures!
