This week up in The Studio our kids made a very special gift for their moms for Mother’s Day. Each child chose a glass vase. We purchased a variety of sizes. Then they mixed white into purple and blue to create a base color. Afterwards, they chose yellow or aqua to add a pattern full of lines, dots and textures. The last step is to paint on Mod Podge, to add a shine and prevent the paint from chipping. This is a very fun and easy project that you can create at home or in your classroom.
Happy Mother’s Day!
