Do you have boxes and boxes of your kid's paintings, drawings, scribbles etc, stored away because you just can't part with them and don't know what to do with them? Well here is your solution - Create a canvas wall art collage that's original, creative, cheap to make, and a fun activity that you and the kids can enjoy together. They also make great Christmas presents from the kids to the Grandparents - A guaranteed winner your kids will be proud of.
The basic idea is to glue your kid's art directly onto the framed canvas in an overlapping collage style, similar to the method you use for decoupage or making paper mache items. All items you'll need can be found at any $2 bargain store. This is the best way to keep the costs low; however you'll also get all you need from an art supply store. Canvas sizes vary so just get one that will suit the wall you want to hang it on, and some smaller ones to keep as future presents.
