Do you have lots of kid's art lying around? Today I'm going to use a child's painting and mod podge it to a picture frame.
This great frame came from Craft's Direct in St. Cloud. I have big plans for a gallery wall with photograps and kid's art... this will be a perfect addition.
I painted it a beautiful shade of blue.
I chose some scrapbook paper that would coordinate with this colorful painting by my daughter Isabelle.
I cut scraps to fit the frame, making the star of the show Izzy's painting. I color copied it before cutting it up. Usually paint bleeds when you use mod podge.
Just keep adding scraps until the frame is covered. I love lots of different papers mixed together.
Cover your frame with mod podge and attach the papers. Then add 2 coats on top, letting each coat dry.
It would be a meaningful gift too... a photograph and a handmade piece of artwork, all in one!
Happy Thursday!
Great idea. I love using kids artwork in new ways.
