Create Découpage Art Upcycle some old frames, jars, vases (or just about anything else!) with découpage. This art form requires glue, a paint brush, and some form of paper you and your Little have on hand. Some ideas include using clippings from a magazine, wrapping paper, tissue paper, or cardstock. To learn more about how to découpage together, watch this video tutorial from the Discovery Museum. This activity is great because it can be done either in-person or virtually! If you and your Little craft together, we would love to see your final products! | |
