3D Canvas Art


A simple project for the kids. It makes a perfect gift too!

What you need:
1 canvas
Acrylic paint
Fabric paint in tube
A starfish
Paintbrush
Craft glue
(All these can be bought from art friend)



First you need to paint the canvas. I like using acrylic paint. 
It's thicker and it becomes water resistant when dry.



Use a hairdryer to dry the paint quickly. 
Alternatively, you can also leave it overnight to dry.


Once dry, start dotting the canvas with a fabric paint.


I make Ryan practice on a blank paper first (kiasu... hehe...)


Once he mastered it he was ready for the canvas.



Fill in the dots and leave it blank where the starfish would be.


Same goes for this. Aidan's little finger couldn't press out the dots, I had to finish the art for him.


All done and just waiting for it to dry.


Glue the star fish down with craft glue and TADAH!!!! A beautiful 3D art!


Have fun!!!!!
