I am the Queen of inexpensive crafting. Because honestly, how long do we keep our kids' artwork on the fridge - a month? a week? Of course I have a shoebox of some of my sons' drawings and such that he's created over the years but realistically, most of it ends up in the trash sooner or later. So I refuse to pay top dollar for crafting supplies when I can get everything (or mostly) I need from the dollar store.
All you need to do to create a simple afternoon craft:
- Create a "New Blank Document" on Microsoft Word
- Click "Insert" > "Icons"
- Choose from holiday themes, nature, animals, and more
- Enlarge image to fit screen and print
- Let your kids pick their crafting medium. They can use pom-pom balls, feathers, beads, tissue or construction paper, whatever they think will fit the image best!
Extras:
- Kids can rip the construction and/or tissue paper for some textured effect or cut the pieces so they're neat
- Use silly scissors for a fun border
- Paint popsicle sticks and add glitter or foam stickers for a framed masterpiece
