Did I mention how much I love Seahorses? Well, I do! I wish I could scuba dive so I could find them and watch them myself, but since I can’t, I will at least enjoy them in art! And share the wonderful art of Seahorses with as many people as possible 🙂 So here are Seahorse Wraps, to use for empty cans or jars or whatever you can think of:
I wrapped the small can by printing two pages to one sheet of paper.
The middle can is just painted white with 2 coats of acrylic paint, and then a wee tiny bit of green and blue paint is lightly brushed on top of the last coat of white before it is dry. 😀
So if your wraps are a too short to cover the entire circumference of your container, just paint the “gap” in matching colors, before gluing the wraps on 🙂
I also made matching tags for these, if you go with my usual procedure of printing the tags on glossy (cheap) photo paper and gluing it onto thin cardboard, before cutting out, these tags will be very sturdy (like the ones you can see peeking out if the middle can). You can then use the tags to label your containers if you wish 🙂
These files are free for your personal use and enjoyment.
I have used the following elements for these designs:
Gift Tag Template – Lilac & Lavender
Back of old photo – The Graphics Fairy
Walter Crane Seahorses – Kunst en samenleving on Open Library
Lace Frame – Zibi Vintage Scrap
PS You may also like the matching Seahorse Christmas Card, that i posted a couple of weeks ago. How about using all of these together for a cute and frugal Christmas Gift:
