Quick Tips:
Go to the Dollar Store! That's where I got most of the materials for this craft!
If you have one square of cork board, cut it into two halves. Place them next to each other in a clean area outside, or on some newspaper indoors. Spray paint the top halves beige. Now, With the dark brown spray paint, create a gradient starting at the bottom. Start by applying a thick layer until the half way point, then start to gradually move farther and farther away, so that the paint applies thinner.
With green acrylic paint, paint blades of grass along the bottom. Feel free to add your own style to the grass' shape and length.
Decide where you want your sun to be. Paint the outline in yellow acrylic paint.
With some orange acrylic paint, create another gradient, but this time, on the sun. Make the colour more vibrant on one side, and gradually get lighter, until you reach the other side, where it should stay yellow.
With the red, neon pink, yellow, white, and orange acrylic paints, create a design to create the sunset-like rays of the sun.
Re-paint the blades of grass that you have covered while painting the sun. Then, add some white to the grass. To do this, I simply put some white paint on the tip of my brush, and, starting at the bottom, went over the blade of grass. Now you're done!
