Memory plate, how to make your own personalized plate that WON'T wash off. #KidsCrafts #ArtProjects #giftIdea #SharpieMy Mom comes over each week to give my girls art lessons. Each week they do a fun new project, it is both quality time with Grandma and they are developing their talents and fine motor skills.  This week they made Memory Plates, they had SO MUCH FUN making them that I thought I would share the idea with you.  These plates can be uses and washed or just hung on the wall for art.

Memory plate, how to make your own personalized plate that WON'T wash off. #KidsCrafts #ArtProjects #giftIdea #SharpieYou will need:

Sharpie Markers 

Pencil and Graphite Transfer Paper

White plate that is oven safe

Rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball

First step is to clean the plate with rubbing alcohol, you want to make sure all the oil is off the plate. Wash your hands too, to take any oils on your hands that might get on the plate while you draw on it.  Once plate is totally dry, trace the pattern you want to make on your plate with a pencil, pattern and Graphite Transfer Paper. Or you can just free hand your art project.  Just letting your kids draw a picture on the plate is a fun idea too. You need to use Sharpie markers, any other markers will not “stick” even if you cure it in the oven.

Once you have drawn your images or artwork onto your plate, you will need to set or “cure”  it in the oven. Place the plate in the oven at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. The colors will change a little during the baking process but this will set them so they won’t wash off.  You can put them in the dishwasher, but hand washing is recommended.

ENJOY!

Spring Bunny Canvas Art ~ Easy DIY Craft

Spring Bunny Canvas Art ~ Easy DIY Craft

Looking for some inexpensive, cute ways to brighten your home and bring spring indoors?  This adorable little canvas is great for Easter and all spring long!

You will need

A Canvas (Mine was 8×10)

Mod podge (I use matte)

2 sponge paint brushes (this is a great deal on Amazon!)

Bakers twine

A fork (yes a fork)

Vinyl or paper for the bunnies

Paint

Hot glue gun

Begin by painting your canvas.  I went with a turquoise shade.  I like the springy colors, but wanted to do them a little more bold then  the usual pastel.

While that is drying, you can cut a shape that looks like the backend of a bunny.  I created one on my Silhouette.  If you have one and would like the file, I can send it to you.  Unfortunately the Silhouette program only lets you save things in their format.  You could search for bunny clip art and cut these out of paper too.

Once your paint is good and dry, you can apply your bunnies.  Once you have them where you want them, cover with a layer of mod podge.  I always use the matte.  I think it is more forgiving then the gloss is.  When I use gloss I can see all of my brush strokes and that isn’t always a good thing!

Now you are going to make your pompom tails.  Grab your fork and some bakers twine.  Yarn also works, but they will be bushier tails.  Wrap the bakers twine around your fork several times.  (for this project I did it about 25 times.)  Once you have it wrapped take a piece of twine and tie it around the middle, making a sort of bow tie.  Now, slide it off the fork and cut with scissors the 2 sides that were on the outside of your fork.  Fluff it up with your fingers and that will give you your pompom.  Hot glue those on to your bunny bums and you are done!  Now you have a great craft to bring spring into your home!
