Beautiful tape paintings!!

This is a traditional, but its a great craft. I made this once with my girlfriends and all of them turned out awesome.

 All the materials that you need are:

• Painters tape
• Canvas
• Brush
• Paint

The trick to this is to be creative. 

Stick the pieces of tape down on the canvas in the pattern, letter, or whatever your idea is. Press really hard onto the canvas so the tape is sure to stick. 

Now take your paints and just brush over the tape in whatever color or pattern you are doing. 

This is when it is important to make sure all edges of your tape are secure and not flipping up. You can do multiple layers of tape to make sure the paint does not leak through. Don't worry about going along the lines. Just paint over them.There again is a good reason to press the tape down.
Let the paint dry. This is an awesome craft to do at a birthday party and you can watch a movie or eat a snack while you wait.
After the paint has dryed, peel the tape off slowly. once all of it is off, you can touch up the paint with a fine tip brush.
Hang on your wall, because you are done!!

This, as I said, is perfect for birthday parties and sleepovers, or as a gift for a teen.
You can try a few techniques with this, like sponge blotting, or spray painting.
Have fun!!
