Making Crafts from Your Kids' Art

Rating:
Summary: Fun and functional ways to display your kids artwork
Review: Like me, you probably have overflowing boxes of artwork that your kids have proudly brought home from school that you can't bear to throw away. Valerie Van Arsdale Schrader to the rescue with her book MAKING CRAFTS FROM YOUR KIDS ART.

From easy to difficult, there is something here for everyone of every crafting level to try. The directions are step-by-step with accompanying photos to show you the original child's art as compared to the finished display product.

Some of the projects included are: cup & saucer printed with artwork, a magnetic message board, postcards, a canvas bag print, wrapping paper, tin frame, silk pillow, and even floor throws and wainscoting! Be forewarned that for many of the more involved projects you will need computer access, drills, heavy-duty cutting equipment like hacksaws, and for one, even an electric glass grinder! Fortunately, most of the cuter projects only require photocopies and transfer paper to work.
