About This Project

Do you have tons of artwork from when you were younger that you'd love to save, but there just isn't room on the fridge? Make it easier for your grown-ups to display it around the house by turning it into a mini-canvas work of art. This project is great for older kids, but younger kids can contribute art work and have a grown-up or older sibling help them with positioning and glueing down the work. IMPORTANT NOTE: This project works best to preserve art made with crayons, colored pencils, and acrylic paint. if your art used water-based paints or washable markers, test out a corner to make sure the decoupage medium doesn't make the ink run before starting this project.
