I actually really liked using a sock with my 4 year old for this art project – he could hold it well, and it gave a great texture. We didn’t have a sponge on hand, so opted to use a sock. Next, we cut skinny strips of the painters tape and arranged them in ‘birch tree like’ configurations on the page. To begin, we glued the magazine page to a piece of construction paper. So by our third attempt I was needed heavier on the, “It will work this time, we can do it!” side of the camera.Īnd now, with by far the most warnings and precautions I have ever given prior to introducing a SIMPLE art project, I bring you that simple winter art project!Ī page from a glossy magazine with lots of text (eventually) you see I try to balance taking pictures of our activities with actually enjoying them with my little ones. Please note that these pictures are a mixture of all three attempts - you may see electrical tape (DO NOT USE IT!), you may see recycled, dull magazine paper (DO NOT USE IT!) …. For this winter art project you need the glossy magazine paper.Īnd finally, on our third (and final … this was it – now or never) attempt, we succeeded! Some lovely new magazines use recycled ‘greener’ pages … these do not mix well with painters tape. Electrical tape does NOT come off of paper the same way that painters tape does … please do not use electrical tapeĢ. Two things we learned while creating this birch winter tree art project:ġ. It looks great! And we learned quite a bit along the way, as our first attempt was a major fail.
I must say, this winter art project turned out even better than I had imagined it would. This time as a birch winter tree art project! But, like anything that stays in my hands too long, one of those magazines has been sacrificed to our crafting. I was given some lovely magazines lately – and I have really been enjoying them.
