Creative DIY Projects for Kids: Mastering Wall Art
Creative Kid-Made Wall Art Transforms Homes
In a warm and welcoming home, the living room and kitchen walls are not just spaces for traditional decor, but vibrant canvases showcasing the creativity of a young artist. The artwork displayed on the living room wall changes regularly, incorporating some of the artwork that the son makes at school.
One permanent piece of wall art in the kitchen is a unique creation made with dyed rice, couscous, and salt. The letters E, A, and T are proudly displayed on a canvas, forming a distinctive piece that adds a touch of whimsy to the kitchen.
Most of the son's artwork is pegged onto a "washing line" on the living room wall, creating a colourful and ever-changing display. The son recently made a banner for his Daddy for Valentine's Day using a tape-resist method, a technique that could be used for any event or celebration.
For those seeking inspiration for creative wall art ideas, here are some suggestions:
- Custom Name Signs: Personalized name signs can be made using materials like wood, metal, or acrylic, and even neon lights for a modern effect. These add a special, personalized touch above the bed or play area.
- Interactive Chalkboard or Whiteboard Walls: Converting a wall into a giant canvas where kids can freely doodle and brainstorm encourages creativity without permanent wall stains. Framed whiteboards work well for a tidier look and a fun interactive wall.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Space-Themed Walls: Using glow-in-the-dark stickers of stars, planets, moon phases, and constellations creates a comforting nightlight effect and appeals to kids fascinated by space.
- Displaying Kids' Artwork Creatively: DIY playroom or bedroom art walls can be used to showcase children's art, turning their creations into charming decor that celebrates their creativity.
- Paper Craft Wall Decorations: Engaging kids in creating paper crafts such as intricate paper flowers or paper trees to hang on walls adds a tactile, colorful, and artistic element.
Button art is an easy and adaptable art project for various age groups. The sticky wall art can be as permanent as desired, using a large piece of contact paper and decorations.
The son's recent wall art piece, a gift for his cousins, was made using the tape-resist technique on canvas boards instead of canvas paper. Printables from Learn Create Love were used to create construction vehicle artwork for the son's bedroom, including a cement truck, backhoe, bulldozer, and dump truck. The concept of the new wall art piece is simple enough for the son to assist with now that he's older.
These ideas foster creativity while adding personalized, engaging, and visually appealing elements to home decor guided by your child's style and interests.
Incorporating printables into kid-made wall art can be a fun way to enhance home-and-garden décor, as demonstrated by the son's latest wall art piece made with a tape-resist technique on canvas boards. This creative approach, combined with using Learn Create Love printables to create construction vehicle artwork for his bedroom, adds a unique touch to his personal space, reflecting his lifestyle and interests.
Hanging button art on walls can serve as versatile and adaptable wall art that can be easily changed when desired, offering a fun and engaging form of wall art suitable for all age groups. This type of art, often used in home-and-garden spaces, can reflect the lifestyle and personality of a home's inhabitants, making it a popular choice for personalized wall art.
