Exploring and creating art. Using items around the house

  
Exploring/creating art-using items around the house.
This was so much fun, and very hands-on. My daughter really enjoyed the different textures and shapes.

Materials we used:
-Plastic fork
 -Paper towel roll
 -Flowers
 -Clothespins/with pom poms
-Plastic bottle top
-Straws
-Craft stick


 Explore and create art using different designs with each material.


 During our art time, I went over how each item created a different design.


Be creative and use your imagination!

  1. Great ideas. I particularly like the clothespins with the pompoms in them, that makes it easier for her to hold them and keeps her hands out of the paint too.

  2. The entire process sounds fun - from gathering supplies to painting and discovering the designs you can create from these findings. So creative. I also think the cotton ball clothespins are brilliant!

Budget-Friendly Spring Frame Decor with Faux Flowers

There’s something truly wonderful about transforming the simplest craft supplies into a soft, delicate piece of décor. Recently, I was looking at a plain white picture frame from Dollar Tree—nothing fancy, just simple and clean. It reminded me of my love for quick projects that utilize materials we already have on hand.    I had a few leftover faux flowers from a previous craft , and instead of putting them away again, I thought, “Why not add a touch of spring magic to this frame? ”    It’s one of those easy, no-stress projects that is calming to create and instantly brightens up any space. With just a few snips and some hot glue, that plain frame transforms into something soft, pretty, and perfectly suited for the season. Quick video tutorial  Materials You'll Need A simple white picture frame is a great choice for this project, especially if you love a clean, minimalist vibe! It really gives a fresh, stylish look that can brighten any space.   Gather an...
