Child's Artwork Furniture Makeover

by

If you are looking for ways to preserve your child’s artwork, try making over a piece of furniture with it! It’s so easy, and kids of all ages can help with this project. Take a small set of drawers from the thrift store or even a wooden tray and, with a few supplies, your child’s artwork can jazz it up into something new and improved.

 

Materials Needed:

 

Step One: Have your child make drawings on a piece of paper with a Sharpie. Using a permanent marker ensures that there won’t be any bleeding when it’s time to adhere the artwork.

Step Two: Cut the artwork to the size of the surface you are working with. You can piece them together or overlap if needed.

Step Three: Brush on a layer of Mod Podge to the surface, place the artwork on top and then brush on another layer to seal it. After the first layer is dry, repeat with a few more layers of Mod Podge.

Step Four: After the Mod Podge has fully dried, sand any rough edges where dried Mod Podge may have collected.
