Making Dinosaur Wall Art

I found some 7"x7" canvas wall hangings at Dollar Tree.  They had flowers and birds printed on them.    That style didn't really go with Jr.'s theme ;o) So I changed them up a bit.  You can use blank canvas- it's just more expensive.

To make these dinosaur wall hangings you just select a base color and paint them.  I wanted a textured-kinda-rough look.  So I used several layers of paint.  I mixed different amounts of brown with the red paint to get slightly different colors.  I left some places "messed up" on purpose. 

Find free dinosaur patterns on online coloring pages or search google images- dinosaur silhouettes.  Trace and cut out your dinosaur patterns from scrapbook paper and mod podge them onto the canvas.

I learned that the lighter colored papers with simple, smaller prints looked the best.  It's really quite simple!
