DIY Wall Decorations for Kid's Room
Artists start young, so here we want to show how you can nurture art into a child by
decorating his room, so he starts seeing and valuing creativity from his early days.
This DIY tutorial is so easy to do, that if you have elder children you can involve them
in the process of making these awsome wall hangings. Make a collage in minutes that
will be an impressive surprise for everyone, and give you a proud piece of original
artwork to hang on the wall in your kid's room.
For this project, you’ll need a color printer, markers, scissors, glue, 2 pieces of
ordinary cardboard and 4 equal-sized colorfull cardboards or canvas.
Step 1: Print
Find some awesome characters online by either browsing clipart in the PicsArt Shop,
or googling cartoon images. Also, print out some basic colors or patterns to cut into
shapes. If you don't like the color of your background cardboards or canvases, you
can either color them with paint or print out patterns to make your backgrounds
more colorful.
Step 2: Cut
Cut out your characters carefully and glue them on cardboard. Now cut out the
cardboard in the shape of your characters. Be sure to cut out shapes for the scenery
of your collage, like clouds and trees. There is no need to glue them on an additional
cardboard if you do not want to make them look 3D.
Step 3: Create 3D Elements
Identify some parts of the animals you want to highlight: like tails, eyes, or ears. Cut
out two of those parts from cardboard and glue one over the other, so that the one
with patterns stays on top.
Step 4: Glue
Glue your shapes onto 4 pieces of cardboard. Start with the scenery (trees and
clouds), then glue on your characters, then glue on their cool colored double-layered
body parts to make them stand out. As a result, you will have 3D-like animals or any
other items you want.
Step 6: Draw Parts and Write Messages
You can draw some fine elements into your collage using ordinary colorful markers.
You can also write a message on your collage with a marker. Your creations are now
ready to make your child smile!
