Canvas
mod podge
paintbrushes
magazine clippings
First I cut out a bunch of colors from the pages of magazines. I separated them into to piles: warm colors and cool colors.
Then I drew the shape of a fish on the canvas. When it was time for the craft, the mermaids painted mod podge over the canvas and started pasting the magazine clippings to the canvas.
I told them to use the warm colors for the fish body and the cool colors for the water.
The mermaids enjoyed this craft a lot, and I am going to put a black frame around these fishes and hang them in my bedroom.
Have a great school year, and we'll see you next summer!
Your Mermaids are great artists. These fish look great!
ReplyDeleteI really like this craft. Admittedly I usually avoid crafts (I hate the mess) but I think I might actually do this with my girls. They're in desperate need of room decor and this would be a cheap, fun way to addd color to their rooms.
ReplyDeleteI hopped on over here from Melissa Maxwell's blog and I am SO excited to do some of these! Thank you for sharing all these fun ideas! I am bookmarking you right now!
