Glowing Flowers
This easy to make and lovely craft would make a great gift.
You will need:
- Pressed Leaves or Flowers
- Votive Cup
- Tissue Paper
- Decoupage Solution
- Foam Brushes
Instructions for the project: You will want to use flowers and leaves that have been pressed and dried. Begin by tearing off the straight edges from a sheet of tissue paper, and then tear the paper into small pieces. Brush the outside of the votive cup with decoupage solution. Arrange pressed flowers and leaves all around the glass in the design of your choice. Brush on more glue and then lay the pieces of paper on the glass, overlapping the edges. Be sure to keep adding paper and glue until the entire glass is covered. Let dry completely.
Decoupage Sneakers
Pre teens will especially love this "cool" craft. If you use the right decoupage solution they will stay looking good for months and months.
You will need:
- Canvas Sneakers
- Tissue Paper
- Outdoor Mod Podge
- Pony Beads
- Foam Brush
Instructions for the project: Begin by choosing the colors of tissue paper you want to use. Tear off the straight edges and then tear the paper into irregular 1" pieces. Beginning at the toe along the sole of the shoe, brush on the decoupage solution. Lay tissue pieces onto the shoe selecting pieces that fit along the curve of the sole. You can overlap edges to create interesting color combinations. Brush on a top coat of outdoor decoupage solution. Be sure that the child covers the sneakers completely. Let dry thoroughly. Keep in mind that multiple coats will give you better protection. For a finishing touch you can string beads on the laces to decorate.
