Collage Canvas Wall Decoration

Need to decorate the walls of your child’s bedroom?  I made this cute canvas that hangs in my daughter’s bedroom.

This is what you need:

Canvas

String (for long hair)

Wooden blocks (for skirt)

Textured paper (for bodice)

Glue on Jewels (for crown/tiara)

Pipe cleaners (for arms, legs and neck)

Mirror Shape (for face)

Paint (background)

I did this craft with a group of school aged children.  I had a huge range of collage materials available: bottle top caps, jewels, string, wool, cotton wool, corrigated cardboard, buttons, wood cut-outs, textured paper, pom poms and paddle pop sticks.

With these materials, I was astounded at the creativity.  There were cars and robots, sea side scenes and modern shapes, princesses and crazy collage pictures. Head down to your local craft or discount store and see where your (or your child’s) creativity takes you.

The different textured canvas’ look brilliant on the walls.  Here are my children’s creations.
