Crafting With Kids - Masterpieces

When crafting with kids begins, you never know when it will result in a masterpiece being made.  That's the great thing about crafting with kids, they typically don't fret over the details.  Kids don't worry if it's perfect.  Kids simply create.

And, creating is exactly what Grace has been doing. 

On painted canvas, I drew a heart shape and filled it in with glue and stepped back to let the artist create her masterpiece.  Grace dug through our button jar and filled the heart in with pretty buttons.   What makes this a masterpiece, in my eyes, 'love' spelled out by the artist.

 

Grace would prefer creating while keeping her hands clean.  A masterpiece, to me, is seeing this little girl get her hands dirty.

Especially when she makes hand print crafts.

On painted canvas, the artist left her signature in the form of her 5 year old hand print.

If you liked these masterpieces, make sure to check out some of the other art created and currently on display like this watercolor silhouette.

Or block printing art.

Whatever your child creates, I am sure it will be a masterpiece in your eyes.

Button Covered Thumbtacks

For a quick and easy way to dress up your corkboard...go raid your button jar.

Grab some thumbtacks.

Using some tacky glue or E600, glue the buttons to the thumbtack.  

Allow for plenty of drying time.

 Then, starting pinning.

The possibilities are endless.

Thrifty Crafty Girl has a few other ideas for transforming your thumbtacks, some of which probably involve defending yourself against a zombie attack :)
