4 Craft Supplies to Turn Your Kid's Handiwork into Christmas Gifts
If you are trying to work out how to transform your child's handiwork into a beautiful gift for grandparents, uncles and aunties, then the first step is to stop by the craft supply store. Here are some craft supplies that can help you create artwork out of your child's artwork.
Air dry clay
If your child is on the younger side side, a thumbprint in air dry clay can be a great gift for anyone. This can easily be turned into a piece of jewellery, a magnet or a keepsake. Your child can also make figures and artworks out of clay that you can use to make keepsake bowls or Christmas ornaments.
Magnet backing
Magnet backing is a great way to transform small artworks, wallet photos and crafts into a magnet to display on the fridge. It's a great way to make the most of those tiny wallet photos you get with sets of school photos, as well as tiny artworks or tile paintings. The great thing about fridge magnets is that they are used all the time so you'll find that magnets are used for years to come!
Poster board
If your children are childcare or the earlier years of primary school, the end of the year is the time they will head home with swathes of artwork. Using some school glue and card backing you can glue some of these artworks to card and cut them down into gift tags with a personal touch. Choose colourful artworks with vivid patterns to make great gift tags that the relatives will appreciate. If you are blessed with an abundance of artworks, you can also use some of the excess artworks as gift wrap.
Laminating films
Over the last few years the price of laminators has fallen substantially, so it's easy to laminate school photos and artworks to make extra placemats for eating as well as helping to preserve cute notes for posterity. It's a great way to preserve the colours and vibrancy of kid's artwork as well, so that they can be proudly displayed for the whole year.
With the help of some carefully selected craft supplies you can turn your child's handiwork into some personal Christmas gifts for your relatives that will be truly appreciated. It's a great way to get into the Christmas spirit by making some gifts with your children. Get more ideas by visiting local craft supply stores.
