Dream Team of Saints: October!

Awesome Saints in October! I just painted a couple more Saints to add to the collection!

Rather than drive myself crazy trying to paint tiny detail with my mediocre brushes, I printed out some animals to hang out with St Francis and the Divine Mercy image for St Faustina. I lightly sprayed the color printouts with hair spray to ensure that the ink wouldn’t run. I glued them in place on each painted figure, added the saint hands over top, along with some paint accents (because my printer isn’t the best!). I sealed it all in with clear, water-based varnish, adding that little shine and extra durability.

See more tips for making your own Dream Team of Wooden Painted Saints. Here are a couple other posts about What To Do with Wooden Painted Saints including Checkers, Snakes & Ladders and Trouble!

I’m linking up to the OCTOBER CeleLINKY with the SAINTS link-up to add my Saint-centered crafts and activities…and maybe pick up a couple new ideas, how about you?!

All Saints Day is coming soon! I think I’ll be showcasing the November CeleLINKY with the SAINTS a little early to give people time to prepare for All Saints Parties and Crafts for November 1st!
