This afternoon I made kits for Mt. Pleasant’s Second Saturday Farmers Market.

I trace off the pattern on my canvas with graphite paper. I forgot to video this part… sorry, I’ll make sure to do a video for Christmas.

The attached videos show the rest of the process.

I used the ad paper to make sure the acrylic paint doesn’t stain my counter top, my paint is the Hobby Lobby brand.

I pour the paint packets and seal with the mini heat sealer. I package them in a snack sized ziplock bag in case one tears so we don’t have paint all over the canvas and instructions.

I take the rest of the items and place them in the bag and then seal the bag and place the decorative paper to close the bag.

This takes about 25 minutes per kit. I created 14 kits today. That’s a little over 5 hours start to finish.

Owning a small Art and Crafts business, I am always working to make sure I have the best products for my customers to create and make memories.

Let me know if you liked the process.

Braydon and I were at the Mount Pleasant High School Tiger Fest Homecoming Pep Rally last Monday. As a former Tiger Band Member it was fun to watch a younger generation celebrate the same way we did back in the 80’s.
