Beach Art: July DIY Week

Hello there! This was actually supposed to be yesterday's DIY, but I dropped the ball, so I will be posting two DIY's today. First up, we have my take on a simple piece of summer-themed art! I came up with this idea myself, and I have to say I'm pretty proud of it.

What You'll Need:

Paint

Poster Board

Foam Brushes

(I tried to use shells but it didn't work. If you can figure out how to make that happen, please do and share it with me.)

I started off by taking the "gold" (it was really more like dark yellow) paint and covered the bottom of my foot. I then stepped on the poster board, leaving it there for a few seconds, and then stepped off of it. I then repeated this step for the other foot, placing the second foot print ahead of it slightly so that it looked like two foot prints in the sand.

I then experienced my fail with the sea shells, so instead of having a shell pattern around the foot prints, I decided to opt for swirls, that represent the water instead.

And that was it! So easy and I think it really adds a bit of summer to my room. I'm not a skilled painter by any means, so being able to do something as simple as this allows me to sort of live out that fantasy that I could actually be an artist.
