I thought about painting it, but decided I still really like the look of the wood on this one..
It’s so easy, which is key!.Grab a few different colors of craft paint.
Any paint will do, and any colors!They won’t care, as long as they can squish it all together.You’ll also need a big ziplock bag and some type of tape.
I just grabbed the zebra print duck tape because it’s the first thing I saw, but painting tape would work well too.. Next, open the ziplock bag up and put a squirt of each paint color inside.It should look something like this!.
Seal the bag up really well and then tape it down on the floor, or a table, or whatever.
I used the floor because I just thought Jack would like that the best.. At first I thought that taping three sides would be enough, but I quickly discovered that Jack was smart enough to get under the open side and try to pull the bag up to get a closer look.I really just wanted to come up with something simple for Valentine’s Day that was grey and white, mostly because I just find those colors really calming right now and I need that.
Then I thought that if it turns out really cute, it would be fun to write something like this on the back, just for blogging purposes so that it would look like a real “project” that I could post about.. My messy writing says “I love Jack because…” and I made a few like this for each family member.. Of course Kennedy got curious though so I explained it to her and she got to work right away thinking of what she was going to write on the tags for each family member.. And I realized that I’d just stumbled on a pretty great new family tradition for Valentine’s Day, one that I’m pretty sure I want to repeat every year.What better way to give us all warm, fuzzy feelings during this chilly time of year?
It’s totally simple, but way more effective than a disappointing dinner out in my opinion.And it took me 5 minutes to throw together..
