Toothpick Scratch Art – Final

We had an unsuccessful photo canvas living in the garage – this was the perfect project for my niece and nephew to get involved in 🙂

Here’s what we did:

• First I painted the canvas with a layer of white acrylic paint. Set aside to dry
• Myself and the kiddos just coloured the whole canvas in different coloured crayons. In no ordered way – just however we felt
• I then painted over our crayon masterpiece with black acrylic paint with a foam roller. This was to ensure it would be a nice thin even layer. Set aside to dry
• This was the fun part! We got a toothpick each and just started scratching into the black acrylic paint. Again in no ordered way – anything goes!

Work in progress…

Here are some close ups of our finished artwork.

Close up time…

What do you think of our artwork? We love it! Now I just need to find a place best to display my new artwork 🙂

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!
