Masking Tape Art Christmas Ornaments

Kids enjoy the most when they are allowed to be freely creative (i.e. mess around without worries).  Won't you agree?

A few months ago, we made this abstract art on canvas A Beautiful Mess using the masking tape technique (also called as tape resist art). The best thing about this technique is that it allows little ones to play freely with colors and in turn amaze you with their creativity.

So this time we decided to make our Christmas craft using the same masking tape art technique. And, they came out beautifully!

Lo and behold, here are our beautiful Christmas baubles.

Elmer, The Patchwork Elephant Craft

My toddler loves to read her Elmer books. We made this very colorfully patchy Elmer with chopstick dots using Pointillism art technique. Pointillism is a way of painting in which small separate dots of color are used to form images.

We had a blast with this art. After we were done with the Elmer, my toddler continued stamping with chopsticks on a paper. I must say, she loved it. In addition to fun, it makes a great activity for developing hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Here comes our Elmer, The Patchwork Elephant:

HOW TO MAKE ELEPHANT CRAFT?

Paints
Chopsticks

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fold a thin cardboard paper (9"x7") and cut out the shape of Elmer elephant.

2. Enjoy dotting with the rectangular end of chopsticks on the cardboard elephant cutout.

Decoupage Wall Hanging Craft For Kids

Introduced a new art of decoration to my toddler today called Decoupage (french for "to cut out"). This art form involves pasting paper cut-outs on an object and then covering it with multiple layers of varnish until the "stuck on" appearance disappears and the result looks like painting or inlay work.

Sharing my tot's cute wall hanging made with this technique on a craft stick frame made by her.

MATERIALS

9 Popsicle sticks (14.8cm x 1.7cm)
Blue jute thread (~20cm)
Colorful paper cuttings (Try finding design with birds/animal. Kids love them)
Mod Podge
Foam brush
Scissor
Glue

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Take two popsicle sticks and put them ~13cm apart. Apply glue to both the sticks leaving 1.5cm on each side. Place the other seven sticks with their ends on the glued section of the two sticks and let them dry for a few minutes. This will form a nice wood frame.

2. Apply mod podge on the paper cuttings with a foam brush and paste them on the frame at your desired location. Apply a coat of mod podge on the entire surface of the frame and let it dry.

3. Apply extra layers of mod podge until the cuttings inlay well with the background (for us it looked good after three coats).

4. Lastly, glue the jute thread at the back of the frame making a nice hanging and let it dry for 4-5 hours before you can hang this beautiful artwork.

Happy Decoupaging!
