Canvas + Glue + Paint = Art!

I found this idea, like most of my crafts, on Pinterest.  Here's the original link.

Now, I did this project without actually reading the instructions, just going by the caption and the picture on Pinterest, and I think it actually turned out pretty well.  She actually says not to use glue, but she also does the craft in a slightly different, and seemingly more complicated, way.

I used a pencil and drew a picture on a canvas, using a drawing I found online. Then, I outlined it with white glue and let it dry.  Finally, I used a sponge brush and some acrylic paint and gave the whole thing a couple layers of color.  And, voila!  Art for my daughter's Hawaiian-themed room!
