Christmas News Flash!!!

Merry Christmas, one and all!!! We haven't been able to make any posts together because I, Emily, have been away at college since August. Now that I'm home for the holidays, Audrey and I should be posting more often - that is until I have to go back to school in January.

So enjoy this here Christmas Special from us at Not Just A Hat!

Matchbox Art

Get ready to get out of control... because we're already there! Today Audrey and I temporarily "borrowed" our brother's toy cars for this little project called: MATCHBOX ART!!!

Enjoy!



To create Matchbox Art you will need:

Colored Construction Paper
A Work space covered with newspaper
Tempura Paint or any acrylic paint
Toy Cars (like MatchBox)
Paper Towels (to clean up)
Paper plates
Tape

What to do:

1. Cover work space with newspaper to avoid getting paint on your lovely family heirloom of a table.
2. Choose a colored sheet of construction paper, and tape the corners and/or edges down to make sure the paper doesn't move while you're steering out of control ;)
3. Squirt some paint (choose all different colors to make it pretty) on the paper plate.
4. Gently roll the cars' tires in the paint making sure the whole tire is covered in paint. Don't worry about the messy car.
5. Begin! Twist and turn and avoid the cops as much as possible while spinning donuts in your colorful "parking lot."
6. Afterwards, clean up with some damp paper towels and save your artwork.

So this was all fairly simple, yes? Yes. It's amazing what you can do with little brothers' toy cars and paint. Thanks for watching!
