Personalized Photo Collage Frame – Kids Art Idea

written by Marina Sestan 0 comments

This easy kids’ art project will be the best gift for grandparents, or a precious keepsake photo frame on your wall knowing those little hands made it all by themselves. We made a personalized photo collage frame from an old, and plain one.

My kids were 3, and 6 years old when we did it and they enjoyed this suitable for kids’ art crafts a lot more than I thought.

Material needed:

Steps for this personalized photo collage frame

  1. Let your kids gently sand the photo collage frame
  2. Use the white tempera to color the whole frame. If the brushes can’t make a smooth white surface, use a sponge to paint it evenly as we did
  3. Now the fun part… Place many colors on a pallet
  4. Take dry felt pens and let your kids draw colored dots on a frame, creating beautiful designs, full of flowers, and abstract art they will create
  5. Once it is dry spray it with varnish so it lasts longer and looks nicer

Here is a quick YouTube Short video on how we made our personalized photo collage frame.

In rare moments of silence around me, words just start to flow through my mind and I have to write. My girls are my main source of subjects I have so much to say about and share with others.
