This Wall Art Takes Getting Creative in the Bedroom to a New Level

So many ideas for Valentine's Day gifts are so tired they've become cliché. Clichés about love do the same thing to this holiday that they do to writing: make it boring.   

Well, here's a novel idea: This Love Is Art couples art kit ($36) turns your love into a painting you can hang on the wall. All you have to do? Express that love in the way that's the most fun and romantic for you and your lover.

Start with paint.

The first step in this art project? Paint.

The Love Is Art Kit ($36) comes with a bold, black nontoxic paint. You and your lover are the brushes. Apply paint to each other's bodies. Have fun doing this. This is the warmup and the project prep.

You might want to hang a do-not-disturb sign on the door for this part. (Included.)

You are probably in the mood now. So it's time to move on to step two.

Lie down the canvas.

Next comes the real fun. Applying the paint to the canvas. 

Hopefully, you've already spread the protective sheeting and white cotton canvas on the bed, floor, rug, or wherever you plan to do this "project." So you are ready to go. Enjoy each other in the way you do best. Have some fun. Frolic. Get frisky. Go for a ride. Whatever your favorite slang for this is, do that.

Hang your art.

Your painted bodies create the art. So when you are breathless and spent, the creative part is done. A shower would probably be nice right about now.

When the paint is dry, take it to an art store and have it framed. Or get a DIY canvas-stretching kit and do this part yourselves. Then hang it on the wall. 

Your moment of fun is forever captured on the canvas in a tangible piece of art abstract enough to hang in the family room but so intimate you'll probably want it in the bedroom. You'll know that this beautiful abstract is a moment of love between you, but unless you tell your secret, everyone else will see only a bold piece of original art.
