Get a canvas at the store and copy this adorable project

Have you ever used alcohol inks? If you haven't, it's time to give them a try. They're even prettier than watercolors, and anyone can use them to make all sorts of beautiful and colorful paintings.

If you're not sure what you'd like to paint, this tutorial is an appropriate place to start. Put the finished piece somewhere in your home and invite people over to show off your artwork. Your friends and family will definitely be impressed you created such a gorgeous painting.

Materials
- Canvas
- Several colors of alcohol ink
- Sponge paintbrush
- Small dish of water
- Gold foil
- Modge Podge

1. Apply the first color of alcohol ink directly to the sponge paintbrush and paint a small section in the upper left-hand corner of the canvas.

2. Apply a second color to the paintbrush and paint a small section directly under the first, covering that section of canvas from one side to the other.

3. Repeat this process until the entire canvas is covered, alternating and adding colors as you see fit. Add extra dots of color here and there, and experiment with adding water to blend the colors and make them more translucent.

4. Rip off small pieces of gold foil and use Mod Podge to apply them to different spots on the painting.

5. Let the painting dry before displaying it.
