Birdcrafting

Didn't really know what to call this - I picked up some wooden wall hangar pieces at the dollar store and thought it might be a good project for the Dev class to take on :)

We took the wooden pieces and painted them with a combination of black acrylic and matte medium to give it a great super flat look. We then tore up an old library discard book (the kids thought this was both shocking and hilarious! I let them tear their own pages....) and gloss podged them onto the outer frame.

We then used a bit more podge to add coloured glitter onto the birds. The glitter and gloss podge finish made great contrasts as did the textures of smooth background against the torn text and tiny glitter.

Brushwork, tactile work, glitter - whats not to like? Really a fun, easy project finished over three classes that gives them something nice to take home and hang!

Let 'em dry and brush off the excess glitter :) Good to go!
