If you’re anything like me…you LOVE the opportunity snow days bring to slow down and explore your creative side! 

Something about being bundled up at home has a way of getting those creative juices flowing. The best (and most fun) craft projects seem to come from a day spent at home! Plus, crafting is a good way to spend time with the whole family and keep everyone engaged. 

Want to be prepared with plenty of ideas during your next snow day? This post has the perfect snow-day craft for you!

In it, I’ll show you how to turn a door hanger template into a beautiful canvas painting with just a few simple tools. With these templates, you AND the kiddos can have something to keep you busy until the sun shines again. Let’s check them out! 

But First: How to transfer your design onto a canvas

Before you get started, you’ll need to gather your supplies! Here’s a quick list to have on hand: 

  1. The door hanger template of your choosing
  2. 1/2 inch flat tip brush
  3. Filbert tip brush
  4. Liner brush
  5. Artistro Acrylic Paint Markers
  6. Sponge Pouncer
  7. Posca Paint Pens 
  8. Canvas
  9. Graphite paper (or carbon paper) 

The next step is easy — all you need to do is print out your template and trace it onto your canvas using graphite paper. From there, you can fill in the lines with your paint.
