Invite Spring Into the Kitchen

Add a punch of color for spring with brightly painted canvases.

Materials and Tools:

1"x2" pine
corner brackets
wood screws
finish nails
staple gun
duck cloth or canvas
paint
paintbrushes
scissors

Steps:

1. For each frame, cut two pieces of pine to 15-inch lengths and two 11 inches long. Attach using corner brackets.

2. Cut duck cloth 18 inches square for each frame. Place canvas right side down on a flat surface and center frame over the back. Fold the canvas over the frame and staple it in place, starting in the middle and working your way to each corner. Cut excess at each corner and fold it neatly before stapling it into position.

3. Paint each square as desired and let dry.
