What to do with your lame paintings....

Make cards or gift tags out of your lame paintings... Robert Genn suggests burning your paintings that miss the mark... but I have another idea. You can vent your frustrations by taking scissors or a craft knife to the paintings and then re-purposing them.... Make up some gift tags by cutting out some simple shapes and glue or tape them together. (I used double stick tape) The "To: and From:" can be written on the flip side with a sharpie marker. ...or make some cards by cutting out ornament shapes and hanging them on a tree branch drawn with colored pencils. (The "bad painting" ornaments can be cut out of canvas as well as paper.) You can make the card by quarter folding a piece of printer paper. The envelopes are "invitation" size and can be purchased at any office supply store. So instead of a bonfire...(though that sounds sort of good on this snowy, chilly day) ...snip snip snip... glue glue glue and spread some holiday cheer.
