What are some ideas for projects using watercolors?

Examples of watercolor projects include making greeting cards, hand painting gift tags and customizing coffee mugs. Other watercolor projects ideas are creating a desk calendar and making a watercolor clock.

Personalized cards for any occasion can be made with watercolor paint. A liner and round brush are needed to create lettering. Card stock paper is suitable, or watercolor paper can be cut into card sizes. Watercolor paper adds a nice texture, while card stock offers a sleek finish. Marking the card very lightly with a pencil helps keep the words straight and centered. However, freehand painting is also an option.
