April showers have arrived, and while we're eagerly awaiting the May flowers that will follow, we're secretly excited to spend time indoors crafting on a rainy day! Although the wet weather might have disrupted your outdoor plans, we have some fun ideas to keep you entertained (and dry) with Apple Barrel® paints and items you might already have at home!
Painted Mason Jars & Coffee Filter Flower Bouquets
There’s a better use for those mason jars sitting on the top shelf of your cabinets! Using watered-down Apple Barrel paints to dip-dye coffee filters and make colorful flowers helps turn those jars into a fun centerpiece or accent for your shelves. To take them a step further, personalize these jars with a teacher’s name to give as an end-of-the-school-year “thank you” gift!
Easy DIY Painted Rocks
These brightly painted rocks are a colorful way to brighten up the outside! They offer a fun and easy way to let your creativity shine while also warding off gloomy weather. You can paint inspirational phrases, personalize them with names and favorite colors, or be as abstract as your imagination, the possibilities are endless!
Poured Easter Eggs
Easter is right around the corner and we’ve got a recommendation to create some seasonal décor with empty cereal boxes. Mix Apple Barrel Pouring Medium with any Apple Barrel paint (we recommend this Multi-Surface Bold Brights 12-Piece Color Set), pour, and swirl the mixture to create something vibrant and unique! It's that easy!
Butterfly Canvas
Grab some paint and involve the whole family by stamping the bottoms of their feet to create the wings of a butterfly! This project is a fun way to capture how much everyone has grown over the years. Once the wings are dry, decorate them with bright colors and patterns to create a lovely keepsake to cherish.
Friendship Canvas
Want to keep a crowd occupied? This project is perfect for a crafting party and great for customization. Simply print the downloadable project design, transfer it to a canvas, and fill it in with your favorite Apple Barrel paints. As a fun challenge, have each person fill in one section and then pass it along to see how everyone’s style comes together!
With the rain tapping on your windows, it’s the perfect time to get crafty indoors. Make a thoughtful gift, brighten up your space, or just have fun with loved ones, these projects are sure to brighten up a gloomy day. So, grab your Apple Barrel Paints, gather your supplies, and let your creativity run wild…because rainy days are made for colorful fun!
Happy Crafting!
