This week we have been working on a little wall art using leftover pistachio shells.
Since school started, we have been working on mini projects that can be finished in less than an hour.
Things Required:
- A small canvas
- Acrylic colors and paint brushes
- Marker pens
- Pistachio shells
- Craft glue / hot glue
I have explained step by step procedure to make the art below:
- Decide on an art work that you would like to create. We have chosen a easy garden with flowers, butterflies, ladybugs and rocks.
- Get your canvas and paint the background.
- Color your pistachio shells based on the picture you want.
- Place your colored shells on the canvas to get an idea of where to stick the shells.
- Use a craft glue to stick them firmly in place.
- Use your markers and put in the finishing touches( like the stems and the grass in the background).
And that’s it; there’s an easy artwork that the kids can finish in no time.
Some other ideas that you could use:
- A girl on a swing
- Birds on a tree
- An underwater sea adventure
Try out any of these and share with your friends too!!
