I have a confession to make. I’ve been hoarding canvases. I have a bad habit of buying them whenever they’re on sale even when I have no idea what I’ll use them for. So, last Sunday night I thought it was time to finally put them to use. We had a little family art night.
First I sprayed the front and back of them with some white outdoor spray paint.
Then I grabbed some outdoor craft paint and brushes………
and we had a little family paint party!
When our little masterpieces were dry I stapled some rope on the back to hang them on the lattice of the deck.

These canvases add such a colorful punch of fun to our outdoor living area. The outdoor paint has held up perfectly. I’ll let you know how they do over the summer.
We also just recently picked up an umbrella on sale and with an extra 20% off at Bed, Bath, and Beyond!
We had such a great time painting together! I love seeing these little canvases hanging up out here. I think we need to have more family art/craft nights.
Have you hung any artwork in your outdoor spaces?
how fun! i love this idea!!!! i am in need of a fun idea for the side of our garage and i love this. 🙂
