Welcome to the IHC Craft Room! Tonight we are diving into a festive maple leaf dot painting on a rustic wood slice, perfect for absolute beginners looking to create beautiful Canada Day decor.
You can find the free downloadable pattern for this project linked below so you have the exact same image I'm using for the chalk transfer to dot along with me easily!

If you're planning to dot along with me tonight, make sure you grab your paint, a wood slice or wood round, and your supplies. If you aren't crafting live, I'd love for you to just hang out & chill with me, grab a yummy drink, some snacks, find a comfy spot, and let's relax while I create something beautiful.
