Craft Recap: Balloon Pop Painting

So, I'm really excited about the fact that I am trying hard to commit to posting a new blog entry once a week, even if it's something really simple and small, the consistency of it will hopefully make this blog last longer.  Over the past year I've created so many things that I really wanted to share with everyone but never had the discipline to sit down and blog about until now.  I was smart enough to gather photos throughout the year in case I was ever able to commit to posting them- and this would be the day.

The next few posts I'll be putting up will be a quick review of all the things I've done in the past that I found worth blogging about.  Let's start off with some of last years paintings I painted.

Coming back from Europe I had a lot of inspiration to create things and the first thing I really wanted to do was some balloon painting!  It was a simple enough craft to do and it seemed like it would be a lot of fun- especially with some friends.  I gathered up the necessary materials needed:

-a 16x20 stretch canvas (or any canvas really)
-tape (we used painting tape)
-acrylic paint (I got a bunch of cheap ones from the craft store)
-balloons (dollar store)
-sewing needles (ideally you'd use darts but I didn't have any)
-straws (to act as a blowdart with the needles)
