- String or yarn
- Scissors
- Tape
- Nail and hammer
- Ladder or somewhere high to hang the paint (We used the inside part of the garage door.)

Directions:
- Put down drop cloth or plastic bags and place canvas in the middle.
- Attach string directly above the canvas (to the ladder). Shake paint and attach bottle to string. We taped the bottle to the string. We did a few practice swings to make sure the canvas and bottle of paint were aligned.
- Hammer a nail into the bottom of the bottle to allow air into the bottle so paint will fall from bottle.
- Pull back paint bottle and let it drop to create a unique design!
- We layered our paintings and switched out colors a few times until we got the look we were happy with!
- Let dry and enjoy!
