Hi Everyone!!! Happy to see you today! I have been up to my eyeballs in projects for about the past week. I have been focused on trying to spruce up the girl’s room. Ever since moving in here it has been bugging me. Then shortly thereafter the largest frame on their largest wall broke. So they have had this huge blank wall for a while now & it finally bothered me enough that I did something about it the other day.
I was so thrilled when I was offered the opportunity to be a part of the Summer Kids’ Crafting Streat Team for July. Summer is a great time to craft with your kids. I had so much fun working with the girls to find out what they wanted for their room. I was so inspired by Plaid Kid Crafts & so were they. We decided that the first issue we would tackle was that huge blank wall & then see where our creativity took us from there.
Easy Kids Crafts Room Decor DIY
I started out with these items from my Plaid kit I was sent. Then I added a few of my own things I had on hand. I am already a HUGE Plaid user – so I was thrilled to work on a project with them.
Product list:
Mod Podge Extreme Glitter
Plaid Stencils
Plaid Apple Barrel Paints in 20492 Neon Blue, 20487 Neon Pink, 20489 Neon Orange, 20491 Neon Green, 20408 Gloss White, 22814 Tropical Blue
Cardboard
Rope
Painting sponges
First I painted on the yellow at the top, then mixed the orange & pink in the middle, then mixed the green & neon blue at the bottom. Let dry.
Then I coated with white – rubbed off some with a paper towel to not only let the colors back through but to give a more distressed look.
I added the Tropical Blue paint to the bottom on the blue/green part to give it a more ocean feel. Let dry.
Then I stenciled on my letters. Painted on some ocean waves freehand. Let dry again.
Then the REALLY FUN PART!!!! Once it was dry I added 2-3 coats of Mod Podge Extreme Glitter. OH MY GOSH- I love this stuff. Can I tell you a secret?? Before my Plaid box arrived- I had never used Mod Podge before. GASP!!!! I know, right??!!! I don’t know why- I just never did. But I can tell you I am TOTALLY HOOKED!!! Be prepared to see a whole lot more projects using all variations of Mod Podge. OH YES- it’s my new favorite toy.
So I let it dry between coats – which it dried REALLY FAST. Once finished I punched holes in the corners for the rope & tied it through. So simple. The whole project only took a couple hours & the girls had so much fun helping me. They LOVE their new art in their room. Now we will be using these same colors with their already neutral base colors to punch up the fun in there.
