FUN BOARD!





We took this piece of wood, found on the street and created art worthy of hanging on the wall.

Supplies:

wood or other flat thick material

fabric scraps

paper (we cut out iron on letters for the word)

glue

scissors

beads

ornaments/ keychains/ jewelry

Directions:

Cut scraps of fabric into triangles and squares.

Glue on to board and arrange however you want, you will most likely overlap a bit.

Allow about 10 minutes for the fabric to dry, then glue on your word, beads and other decorations.

Let dry.

I think I had more fun than the kids with this one! All of the work took about 30 minutes.

3-D Painting

We made this 3-D piece of work with some glue and water color!
Supplies
Cardboard (we cut up a cereal box)
regular Glue
Watercolor Paint

Draw a picture with a pencil, crayon, or pen

Trace the picture with glue

Let Dry!

After about 10-20 minutes you can paint over the glue with different colors.

This creates a cool 3-D effect the kids will love!
