Little Harvest Suns

As fall settles in, the days get shorter and there is less and less sunlight to brighten our afternoons. So why not make a little sunshine of our own? This simple watercolor craft turns a few layers of paint into little harvest suns that bring a warm spot of color to the season. Once the watercolor is dry, each sun gets its own face and personality. You can make sleepy suns with closed eyes, cheerful ones with big smiles, or keep them simple with just a few little details. No two will look exactly alike, and that is part of the fun. The little paint marks and imperfect edges are part of what makes each sun feel handmade.
