This is such an easy and unique way to preserve your kids’ artwork. Take those paintings and drawings that you don’t know what to do with and make some personalized coasters. Give away sets of coasters to grandparents for a gift they will love—or set them out on your own coffee table to show off the skills of your budding artist!
Materials Needed:
- Kids' paintings or drawings
- Wood slices
- Mod Podge
- Foam brush
- Craft knife
Step One: Use the wood slices as a template and trace around one onto the painting or artwork. Using a craft knife, cut just inside the shape you traced.
Step Two: Brush on a layer of the Mod Podge.
Step Three: Place your cut artwork on top of the wood slice and smooth out any bubbles. Brush on another layer of the Mod Podge.
Step Four: After the Mod Podge has dried, add two to three more layers, allowing each layer to dry before applying another one.
