Backyard Mural
Take artistic ventures outdoors and transform an old white sheet into a monumental canvas.
Craft Materials
Old Bedsheet
Tempera Paints
Paint Brushes
Sponges
Squirt Bottles
Time Needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Start by soaking an old sheet in water and then hanging it on a clothesline or draping it over a fence.
2. Get out various tempera paints and applicators -- sponges, paintbrushes, squirt bottles -- and go at it, creating pictures, tic-tac-toe grids, or just colorful designs. You can also mute and mix colors with a water-filled spray bottle.
3. Whenever you don't like what you see, simply hose down the canvas and start over. For art on a smaller scale, try the same techniques with a pillowcase or an old T-shirt.
