Use Templates to Make Your Kids' Artwork into a Themed Gallery

on March 21, 2009 at 6:00 AM

Here's an easy craft project that turns your kids' wild and wonderful finger paintings into a cohesive, original themed art gallery.

To make your own themed art gallery, just cut out and lay template shapes atop your kids' finger paintings and frame. Tada! A well-designed gallery of art.

Get FREE templates for a sparrow, elephant, and seal on Sarah Jane Studios' blog. Or create your own templates. I can see doing this with all kinds of shapes, from flowers and stars to flags and feathers. Perfect for matching your wall art to a special theme in a child's bedroom.

I really love this.

This is awesome, I've been collecting my daughters artwork to make a collage in her room, and this is a great way to may it coordinate with her room.

I have a neat gallery of my kid's artwork on my walls already. I didn't use any templates, I just bought some cheap colored frames from Ikea, and framed their abstract artwork and hung on the walls. The usually paint on colored construction paper, so the frames match the color of paper. It looks great, and really brightens up the room!

If you are willing to buy a house, you would have to get the credit loans. Furthermore, my father all the time uses a small business loan, which seems to be the most useful.
