Rosh Hashanah Plaque

 Lashana Tova!

As Rosh Hashanah is quickly approaching I am beginning to get my decorating hat on. So I thought I would share my most recent holiday project.

I made this simple wall plaque using:

- a 5x7" paint canvas (you can get them in a pack of 2 at the dollar store)
- watercolour pencils
- water ;)
- paint brushes

 I love water colour pencils because they are so easy to use! Draw your apple using the pencils then using a fine tipped brush dipped in water begin going over your pencil. Start by doing the edges and work your way in. Remember the heavier your pencil is the darker the colour will be.

 Once the apple is completely coloured in you'll have to let it dry completely before going further.

Once it's completely dry write your holiday greeting using a watercolour pencil in the centre of the apple then carefully go over it with a brush that has been lightly dipped in water. You may want to keep a tissue close by to dab the excess water off on. If you have too much water on your brush the colour is more likely to run off on you....literally!

Ta Da! And in less than a couple hours you have a very simple and inexpensive holiday decor item that you can use year to year!

Shanah Tovah!
