Easy wall art anyone can make

17/12/2014

0 Comments

 

To make this bright wall art, you'll need:

A cheap large canvas

Small tissue paper squares

Yellow acrylic paint

PVA glue

Photocopied butterfly outlines

Felt tip pens

We started by glueing the tissue paper squares to the lower half of the canvas and then painted the top half bright yellow with a large brush

The next job is to colour in all the butterflies, great for a group project, with adults or children of any age.

We photocopied them from an old book we found at a charity shop.

Glue the butterflies to the canvas

For a bit of sparkle we added some sequins to the wings.

A great gift or something to keep!

Simple mosaic tree

A simple festive colouring activity for children.

Using squared graph paper, draw a tree outline. Colour the tree in shades of green and the surrounding area in brighter colours so that it stands out - the artwork can be used for cards, gift tags or just for some quiet relaxation time away from the tv!

Colourful Creative Christmas - 15 free downloads for kids

10/12/2014

Over the past couple of years, I've created quite a collection of kids free festive printables and I get a real buzz when I see them being downloaded around the world.
Here's the best of them, all in a tidy bunch, just click on the image to take you to the download page.
It's the last couple of weeks of term now and I'll be immersed in present buying and performances - so this is a great opportunity to thank everyone who visited The Imagination Box this year, have a wonderful holiday and hope to see you again next year. 
My first projects will be Valentines' Day and Chinese New Year :-) 
Thanks,
Diane x
