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:

1. Decide on an art work that you would like to create. We have chosen a easy garden with flowers, butterflies, ladybugs and rocks.
2. Get your canvas and paint the background.
3. Color your pistachio shells based on the picture you want.
4. Place your colored shells on the canvas to get an idea of where to stick the shells.
5. Use a craft glue to stick them firmly in place.
6. 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!!
