Finger paint wall decals.

I've been wanting to make these finger paint wall decals ever since I saw them on this blog. It looks complicated but it's actually very easy. I didn't have any sandpaper so I rubbed a nail file against the contact paper to help make the paint stick. It didn't work as well as I'd hoped. I also used tempura paint instead of acrylic paint which didn't look as nice. Tempura tends to chip and crack but acrylic is flexible and more durable. But then I'm not quite ready to give up washable tempura for the more permanent acrylic.

I don't think this qualifies as a craft but Sophie and Hannah stayed home today since they were just getting over colds. They were getting a little stir crazy and these hats (crowns?) kept things interesting for a while.
