Painted Aprons Make Nice Gifts!

Hi friends! Today I am sharing a fun DIY idea that is nice to make for a gift of for yourself!

I think it is super cute and it is easy too! Best of all you can customize if for anyone’s tastes and it is a great gift idea for a painter, gardener or cook. I think I might keep this one for myself though. 🙂 Watch the video to see how easy it is to paint this apron using Inktense pencils. You can use acrylic paint if you prefer and it will work just as well. Use what you have for this!

2. Sketch your design in with Inktense pencils or blocks.
