I can't hardly believe that it is Back to School season!!
Here is a great transitional craft you can do with your kiddos
as they prepare to head back to school.
I pulled out the same supplies I used for my
Picture Frame Craft.
Acrylic Paint
Stencils
Chipboard
Ribbon and Twine
Stickles
PETALOO BLOOMS!
I cut (3) 4 x 6 cards from a sheet of cardstock.
Next, we applied torn dictionary paper
to the card faces with
Multi Medium Matte
(that way if the kids get it everywhere
it won't show when it's dry!!)
After creating quarter size puddles of paint
on the craft mat,
we applied the paint with a makeup sponge
through our stencils
creating a beautiful tie-dye effect.
We painted various pieces of chipboard
with our paint and added our
PETALOO BLOOMS!
Close ups of our cards.....
Let kids SPARINGLY apply
watered down paint to moistened
PETALOO BLOOMS
for a tie dye effect.
BONUS: have the kids WRITE end of the summeR notes to
FRIENDS, FAMILY and TEACHERS!
(what is becoming a long lost art!)

Hope you are having a WONDERFUL SUMMER
and you have the opportunity to enjoy some time
with your children and/or grandchildren!
