Mini Masterpiece Favors
I came up with this little favor idea for a wedding (or shower!) for Project Wedding. It is really affordable if you have access to someone with art skills. I really loved how they turned out. See how to do it and all my sources right over here. A special thanks to Vivian Lee for assisting me on this (and to Paul for helping me with the paintings.)

I love it – who doesn’t love art with a meaning!
These are perfect! So pretty.
very cool. i did something like this for my wedding a couple of years ago (but they were framed paper pieces not canvas) and it was a big hit. love the paintings.

Love this! So creative!!
I’m tempted to leave my office right now and run to Aaron Brother’s to pick up a box full of tiny canvases! What a wonderful idea!
Seriously adorable! I love it.
I am so happy that I am invited to this wedding. That totally made my day!
So cute. This would be such a great idea for any shower!!
[...] OBSESSED with this escort card idea via Oh Happy Day. I may be recruiting a few artistic friends to make this happen because I love it so [...]
LOVE this idea. Also think it could be really cute with tiny paintings of the centerpieces. So you’d know which table you were at if there is assigned seating.
I love this idea, so fun!
So cute! I’m a sucker for all things tiny.
So adorable! I think it could also look cute with handmade tiles instead of canvases!
omg how adorable ! i’m glad my sisters didn’t know about how adorable these favors were before i started on their 400+ wedding favors !

This makes me think that it would be really cool to paint a LARGE, abstract canvas, cut it into smaller pieces to stretch onto small frames. hmmmmm. What do you think?
Such a cute idea.
I’m a fan of anything in miniature form, but this is just beyond! Love this idea!
adorable!!

These are gorgeous!
So cute! I normally want to leave my wedding favors at the table – these I would gladly take home!
Mini canvas!! perfect for mi… a mini artist.. not because I’m small but because of how little things i can do in terms of art hehe..
I think these would also be a good idea at a children’s party… what do you think?
Wow, you guys never cease to amaze me. This is so brilliant. I SO WISH I could have a wedding every year to do this kind of stuff. If only I new then what I know now in regards to party planning. Thanks for sharing!

Brilliance! I love love love this idea.
delightful!
aaaand I just fell out of my chair. may have to steal this for my own celebration in 2013. gives me 1.5 years to paint
wow, those are amazing! i can think of tons of ways to use those!
LOVE this idea. One of my brides told me that she was going to have miniature paintings on mini easels as place cards for her wedding and I was in heaven. So cute!
Swoon! I love this so much! I have to come up with an excuse to make some. Maybe even precious little Christmas gifts for my girlfriends. Thank you!
I see an Oh Happy Day magazine in the future.
Wow super cute! I’ve always seen these mini canvases and wondered what could be done with them!
c’est si joli ! j’adore … Miss&kiss
!!!! So gorgeous!
What a wonderful idea! They are favors that you would want to keep forever–trying to find the perfect place to keep the favor would be so exciting.
Wow! What a fabulous and original idea! Beautiful.

This is quite possibly the cutest thing ever! I love how each one is different but uses the same color scheme! What a fun little party detail and way for your guests to remember the party after it’s over.
these are incredible! i have to share this idea with all of my engaged friends!
Where did you find the little wooden easels? Also, are the little canvases 3″x3″? It’s so funny I found your site today after offering to do this for my daughter’s wedding several months ago!! She got engaged in Rome and wants to do a vineyard theme, so I’m painting miniature vineyards with beautiful Tuscan backdrops. Each of the 130 paintings will be a little different. I just need a source for the easels. These paintings are so lovely!
Those are darling!
Oh my gosh! I love it. This is so pretty, so sweet, so lovely.
In fact, just about everything on this blog is lovely. Thank you for sharing!
