Canvas Squeegee Painting Steps

Buy blank canvas, squeegees and acrylic paint from your craft or dollar store. Apply paint blotches wherever you want on your canvas. Run your squeegee across the paint in random directions. Repeat if desired (you may want to allow to dry in between).

Make Your Own Chocolates

There are likely a lot of different recipes out there to get creative, but I have kept it simple. Purchase your chocolate - I have bought chocolate candy melts from Michael’s, but also used bars and blocks purchased from the local grocery store. If using a bar/block, I break it into smaller pieces. Melt in the microwave (medium power setting, shorter time frames 30 seconds each, stirring in between until just melted), or in a double boiler. Once melted, I add a small amount of shortening. Next, fill your silicone molds. You can use a spatula to scrap off any excess. Put into the fridge until hard. Pop out of the silicone molds. If necessary, break off any extra chocolate that surrounds your mold’s shape. Enjoy! Note: These freeze well.
