The glow of the fireplace and warmth of family gathered in one room make Christmas special. This year, swap movie marathons for something more interactive: a family painting night by the fireplace.
Whether you choose a winter landscape or transform a cherished family photo with Davincified’s custom paint by number kits, painting together offers an activity where phones stay in pockets and conversations flow naturally.
DIY Family Art: Creating Your Masterpiece Together
One of the best parts of using Davincified’s paint by number kits is creating truly personalized family art. Here’s how to make it happen:
Step 1: Choose Your Canvas
Pick a Christmas painting from the Christmas collection: snow-covered cabins, festive wreaths, or winter forests. Or use a custom option to upload your own family photo and transform it into a paint by number kit.
Step 2: Set Up Near the Fireplace
Position your workspace close to the fireplace. The kit includes everything you need: pre-printed canvas, numbered paints, and brushes. You only need water and paper towels. Protect surfaces with newspaper, light the fire, queue holiday music, and set out hot cocoa.
Step 3: Pick Your Painting Style
Work on one larger canvas together, with kids handling simpler sections and adults tackling details. Or give each person their own canvas to work on simultaneously, then display all finished pieces as a collection.
Step 4: Paint and Connect
Let kids start with their favorite sections. Take breaks every 20 to 30 minutes. Share stories while painting with your kit. The relaxed activity makes conversations flow naturally.
Step 5: Display Your Creation
Let your painting dry, then frame it. Create a tradition wall displaying each year’s painting, or gift it to grandparents as a handmade keepsake.
This DIY approach turns ordinary family photos into extraordinary keepsakes. Let each family member sign the back or add a small personal touch. You’re not just painting; you’re preserving memories in a unique way that store-bought art can never replicate.
